Dimensional paper collages – Amy Genser<\/strong> \/\u00a0Collages are built from layered, rolled, and cut paper that are adhered to painted surfaces.<\/p>\n

Amy Genser plays with paper and paint to explore her obsession with texture, pattern, and color. Evocative of natural forms and organic processes, her work is simultaneously irregular and ordered. She uses paper as pigment and constructs her pieces by layering, cutting, rolling, and combining paper.<\/em><\/p>\n

The natural world is a clear source for Amy\u2019s work. She is fascinated by the flow of water, the shape of beehives, and the organic irregularity of plants, flowers, rock formations, barnacles, moss, and seaweed. Her pieces bring to mind aerial landscape views, satellite imagery, and biological cellular processes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amy\u2019s love affair with paper began in a paper-making class at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she received a masters degree in Graphic Design. Amy lives in West Hartford, CT with her husband and three sons, and spends her summers on the beach in Rhode Island.<\/em><\/p>\n
