In this artist talk, Elyse Longair will discuss her collage practice, process, and simple image aesthetic. She creates each collage from analog popular knowledge source material, predominantly, National Geographic Magazine images from the 70s, 80s and 90s. It is important to her that the images come together in a flat, near seamless and logical way. When the work is printed on a large scale, the material reality and history of the image is highlighted.

Come here my artist talk at Art NOW series presents Elyse Longair. January 29, 12pm.
