Archiving and collecting forgotten and worn-out scraps of paper is a habit I’ve grown into overtime. Slowly, a collection of fragile, faded paper has developed, each of which is of astonishing beauty. A beauty that sometimes, all of the sudden, becomes noticeable when it is plucked from the stacks of paper folders, digital folders and boxes I’ve been collecting. By recombining and sorting the pieces paper on sheets, collages are created. Sometimes these recombination’s are digital in Adobe Photoshop. The collages get a dreamlike atmosphere after being stacked in transparent layers that partly conceal each other. For me, these paper works are a tribute to the beauty of decay, a visual celebration of the fragility of forgotten scraps, and a testament to the infinite possibilities of recombination.
