artists i've been looking at.

lately i've been looking a lot at feminist collage artists and dadaist collage artists. i recently acquired the famed "suffragettes to she-devils" feminist art theory and history book. it has provided me with a lot of inspirational images and ideas. i found this pretty cool website that describes the methods behind the meaning of some of the dadaist collage work. click here! i like the idea of using fabric in the collage. more experimenting with this soon.


florence henri

adolf strakhov

raoul hausmann

linder
a lot of linder's collage work is similar to what I would like to work towards in my own work. i'll need to expand on her imagery in order to make the work as powerful in this more modern context.

i've also been really inspired by aboriginal design and pattern work, specifically the dot and line patterns. i have been tempted to try painting again because of these designs.
