Biographical Info Collage has always fascinated me. I work intuitively with materials that include remnants of everyday life from a pre-digital world, such as maps, sewing patterns, stamps, drawings, and photos. My analog collage technique involves interacting with and transforming materials: cutting, arranging, and adhering fragments to supports that include watercolor paper and wood panels. Titles are often drawn from partially obscured text. In addition to acrylic paint, watercolor, pencil, ink, and pastels, I add color to my pieces with beads and cloth. Writing is part of my creative process, resulting in words embedded in the textured layers of my compositions. The pieces have a surrealistic quality, shifting between abstracted and dreamlike images, allowing the viewer to embrace various interpretations and possibilities of meaning. Instagram: @ritayannyart
