Alexandra Rozenman's Collage Project

In this wonderful playful calendar, Alexandra Rozenman uses images from her ongoing COLLAGE PROJECT. This project started with a quarantine. After an unexpected and needed move out of my studio space, I started working on smaller pieces of paper adding ink and watercolor to my older drawings that I found around the house. Everything felt disconnected. My thoughts began separating older images into shapes first, inside the watercolors, and combining watercolors to drawings and watercolors to watercolors and drawings to drawings. I was choosing sections and making shapes out of old ideas - selecting. Dissecting and connecting pieces of my older work gave me a big room for new ideas. I was inside the process - when paintings, drawings, or anything else you are creating at the moment makes themselves for you because you are giving them everything they need in exactly the right way at exactly the right time. My thoughts materialized into shapes, shapes into images, and images into untold stories. I invited other artists to participate and it is blooming. Artists like Tatiana Flis, Kay Hartung, Natasha Dikareva, and Marsha Odabashian have stepped in and donated handmade paper.
