Description

Holding Space This abstract image evokes an inclusive and welcoming space, one that allows for enduring recognition, protection and acceptance. As I work with the coloured and textured papers I have hand printed, they begin to take on unique personalities of their own. I move shapes around the picture surface and they seem to relate to one another, much like our human relationships. Once the interaction of the shapes create the emotional atmosphere I’m thinking about, I know the composition is complete. This paper collage piece is made from my own handprinted papers, layers of texture and colour create an impressionistic landscape. Image size 20” x 20” Framed size 29”w x 29”h x 2”d Custom framed in a solid birch shadow box frame with archival matting materials

About Barbara Buntin I make paper collage art pieces in my studio in Cobourg ON, drawing inspiration from multiple sources. Just as collage is an assemblage of materials to form a unique composition, the layered influences on my creative life bring me to this point in my art making. Working with my hand printed paper, I cut and move shapes around the piece until the elements create a pathway for the eye, a place for the imagination to dwell. The shapes, colours and movement in the materials seem animated while I construct the scene, resulting in compositions that echo human energy and interactions. Some compositions remain in abstract form, hinting at unseen forces in transition; while the landscape images reflect the memory and atmosphere of place rather than a descriptive representation. I enjoy the opportunity to exhibit my work in Galleries and Art Shows both locally and in Toronto as well as welcoming visitors to my studio by appointment. The conversations that arise with the viewer are a sustaining part of the process of making art.
