Kate Norris’ mixed media collages are made from tearing wallpaper and reconstructing the pieces in a new way, giving new meaning with a modern sensibility. From a distance, a viewer looking at the wallpaper collages will see a primary image. But, as the viewer looks closer the process reveals layers of torn and combined papers, where small narratives and abstract juxtapositions of flowers, animals, foliage, and colors are formed. Her collages open conversations about processes, techniques, and symbolic associations.
