As I got into working with the still life concept in collage,
I became captivated by the translucent effects that the transparent papers could
give… the torn edges superimposed over one another had a lovely quality. I was
reminded of some gorgeous glassware that I had seen at a museum at Bodrum on the
Turkish Aegean coast, which had been found on an old shipwreck, and brought to
the surface after hundreds of years submerged. The surface was so marvellous.
The aged patina, the years of being under water etched onto the surface, the
colours, and above all the delicate pink glassware, stayed fixed in my
mind."
