Andrea Matta Schaal

Denman Island, British Columbia, Canada Unearthed and disturbed, they awaken. From forgotten wild spaces, from ruins, the rust, cogs and wastes of landfills, to the bones of middens and burial grounds, where the land is no longer recognizable, we find my surrealist collage/paintings. My photographs are the images I use. As an artist, I read the photographs as metaphors and I cut meaning into them. My work takes shape through collage. I rearrange and re-contextualize them and by doing so, through this de-generative process, I find regenerative meaning. Always, I find a story emerges. MORE
