Layering: The Collage Process

Catherine Elizabeth depicts her world in a bright and richly-detailed way, using hundreds of pieces of hand-cut newspaper.

Sketch

Photos inform the composition. A simple drawing dictates the form and shapes.

Explore

The hunt begins! Found colors and textures are discovered within pages and pages of newspaper.

Cut & Tear

Hundreds of pieces are cut and torn for various effects—this is where texture is born.

Arrange

Piece-by-piece, layers are intentionally placed without the use of paint or dyes. (Seriously!)

Bits of colorful newspaper are strewn around a work-in-progress collage on a clean white studio table. Catherine Elizabeth's hands hold a bit of newspaper in one hand and scissors in the other, diligently trimming pieces to add to the new collage.
