Joanne Hummel-Newell Drawing Collages

Collecting ephemera is an important part of Joannes creative process. She gathers things, scraps, shopping lists, tickets found on the street, at a train station, pockets, all of a particular appearance; discoloured, loved, lost, stained and beautiful.
Pasted found notes or manuscripts are employed because of Joannes anthropological interest in mark-making. Creating accidental art forms is a rule of her compositions. Joanne says: These drawing collages are best compared to the pages of a book, constructed from detailed marks and materials imploring a need to be held and viewed intimately. Joanne is based on the Isle of Wight. She has an MA from the Royal College of Art, and has exhibited in London, Berlin, Rome and the 54th Venice Biennale. She was featured in an Observer article titled Next generation turns its back on Emin and Hirsts conceptual artworks in 2011.

Louise Davies, Secret Mountain. Etching, 220. This particular piece comes from sketches that I did whilst in Spain. However, the colours and composition allow the image to be somewhere else. I wanted to evoke the concealed mysteries and secrets that are hidden in the silent Mountains.
