We
are pleased to present an inviting world of analog collage, Kellette Elliott
creates a surreal scape combining vintage nostalgia with modern imagery and
minimalism.
Originally
from New Jersey, Kellette has been an Oregon resident since 2013. She made a
resolution in 2018 to create art every day to lead by example in her role as a
high school art teacher. She began exploring with negative space in collage
which lead to major inspiration.
Describing
her process and motivation further:
I
took to my sketchbook and created “Playing God”. I truly felt inspired. I
appreciate vintage source images as they make me nostalgic for my childhood. I
continued to make analog collages, soon finding inspiration with circles. I
enjoy creating almost a portal into another world where my main subject looks into it like it’s another
dimension. Because I’m creating daily, I also like to work with full size
background images as well as bold flat colors that let the viewer imagine what
the space represents. I enjoyed my resolution so much from 2018, I decided to
continue through 2019. My mom passed away as the year turned, and I found my
collage work to be an important part of the grieving process.
