Collages by Agnes Montgomery
I'm surprised by how much I love these collages. I'm not quite sure why they appeal to me so much. I suppose it's something to do with the kind of surreal quirky sense of fun. They remind me a little of Tim Walker's images which also have that kind of stage-set theatrical over-the-top look ............ He is my favourite contemporary fashion photographer. They also remind me of Victorian decoupage stickers......
Not sure why it's taken me so long to get here! I think I tried to one day and the link was down then I just kept forgetting. These collages are just beautiful especially the one on black ground with the children in a boat - sigh!
I love making things, drawing, reading and travelling to places that I've never been to before...going round the corner to see what's there. I am drawn like a moth to lights and lanterns, arthouse films, galleries, coffee shops, orchids, old black and white photographs, rooting around flea markets and jumble sales, newsprint and text, Brick Lane, Camden and Portobello Road.
I like the first one. I thought it was an over crowded hot tub party ... with a panda!
ReplyDeleteHe he.....that would be a fun party!

ReplyDeleteThey are, and what I especially love about these is that they aren't photoshopped, but cut out by hand the old-fashioned way.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for coming over to have a look Caz.....
