Conceptual influences around the making of three paper collage brooches.
The girl in Vermeer’s painting 'The lace Maker' sits at her work. I saw this painting for real last year and it has popped up in my memory over the last few months. Sometimes these memories are opaque sometimes translucent but always present, nagging even, as if there is something I need to address but am avoiding. Maybe my own needle work obsession. So I try to make this memory visible, to give it shape.
I like the way a brooch has the potential to be an image while also revealing the making process. So I start to make some paper collage portrait brooches thinking about my own needle work and the Vermeer painting intricately. What I first think about is how time is seen on the surface of the painting, emphasising Vermeer's decisive and light paint brush marks of soft blues, browns, yellows and then the awkward positioning of the figure contained, within time, set in the frame. Open to contingencies of materials and memories three paper portrait collages emerged.
