Collage as a gateway

Lately I’ve been finding a lot of enjoyment in simple mixed media collage. My favourite materials seem to be Scotland’s freely available culture magazine The Skinny and my own gel prints and painted papers.

Mixed media collage with text: "Got a question? Ask your GUT"

Mixed media collage of negative shapes of flowers with text: "There's something magical and a little bit mysterious about the fleshiness of feelings."

Mixed media collage of a silenced woman with soundwaves where her mouth should be, with text: "in bed by half 11 Literally every day almost afraid to sit with a very strong feeling of overwhelm"

Mixed media collage of flowers with text: "I'm baring my soul in search of social acceptance."

Mixed media collage with text: "I feel like I don't have a script for building towards something bigger (...) But there is some sort of new thing happening"

Mixed media collage of painting hand, with text: "This is something magical. This is what I want every day to be."
