Abstract:
Collage painting technique over the years has been one of the most remarkable and significant style of painting in art. However, various artists have explored fabric and paper collage in many productive ways. The project therefore experimented on fabric and paper collage beyond the formal and symbolic essence. Furthermore, this project explored different ways the principles and elements of design inherent in the materiality of fabric and paper, in terms of texture, colour, variety, flexibility, pliability and tactile quality could provide seamless artistic possibilities and artistically exploited to overcome design challenge, since there is no limit to creative ideologies. Chapter one covers the background of the research while chapter two reviewed various literature and art works that are relevant to paper and fabric collage. Chapter three embodied pre-studio research and studio processes while chapter four explains the mediumistic analysis and hermeneutical discussion where the works of art were discussed in details in terms of texture, pattern, variety, form and content. Chapter five concludes the report.
