Wikipedia’s definition of Decollage: “ Décollage, is the opposite of collage; instead of an image being built up of all or parts of existing images, it is created by cutting, tearing away or otherwise removing, pieces of an original image. The French word "décollage" translates into English literally as "take-off" or "to become unglued" or "to become unstuck". When I first saw the art of Mark Bradford, a Los Angeles based artist at Hauser & Wirth gallery downtown, I was totally blown away. I loved the idea of representing urban culture and decay by creating multiple layers of images, papers and urban detritus: stuff left behind that no one wants. Then peeling away, sanding away the layers to create this new “urban map”.

“When I started classes with Kathy I knew very little about collage/ mixed media. Each lesson has a focus, and you continue learning new techniques as well as incorporating what you already know into that week’s art piece. I have learnt so much and am constantly inspired by her.”
