Why collage does you good

Some days, you feel as if you are in pieces. Collage offers a simple gesture: choosing images, papers and materials, and giving each one a place. Little by little, what was scattered comes together, and things become a little clearer.

A few old magazines, a pair of scissors, a glue stick and a piece of cardboard are enough. You can add fabric, buttons, leaves or feathers if you like.

Who am I
