It started as an experiment to use the printmaking technique of “Chine Colle” with Japanese Kozo rice paper on a non-paper surface.  Through the use of layers\, she explores the interconnection between people’s lives and events in the world. As Michigan-based artist Nathaniel Whitcomb declares\, “collage more closely mirrors reality than any other art form. To be alive is to construct\, to selectively choose from an infinitum of objects and ideas\, internalise\, then reassemble into a new whole\, a life. Living is collage”. [1] \n[1] Nathaniel Whitcomb quoted in “The Age of Collage. Contemporary Collage in Modern Art” edited by Dennis Busch\, Hendrik Hellige and Robert Klanten published by Gestalten Berlin 2013.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933845b-2581″][vc_column_text]Margaret Manchee\, Chartered Accountant\, combines a career in accounting with a fine art practice. She was born in Hong Kong and moved to Australia in the late 1980s. Since graduating in Fine Art from the University of Melbourne – Victorian College of the Arts in 2008\, Margaret has been an artist in residence and teacher at Firestation Print Studio in Melbourne. \nMargaret creates copper etchings\, paintings/collages and artist books. The recurring motif “circle” in her work came from Margaret’s Indonesian and Chinese heritage. She explains\, \n“With all my work\, I am driven by the creative inspiration just as much as I thrive on the production process. Thinking through making\, my techniques continue to evolve because I need to challenge myself; by pushing my own boundaries as well as testing the potential and limitation of my medium and materials.” \nHer work has been the subject of three solo shows\, and is included in several group exhibitions\, international exchange projects\, private collection and museum collection including the NGV and the NGA. Margaret has won a few awards and has been recently short-listed in 2021 Northern Beaches Library Artist’s Book Award. She will be part of Impact 11 International Multi-disciplinary Printmaking conference to be held in April 2021.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
