Caitlin Ziegler

Caitlin’s cut and paste pieces are the perfect juxtaposition of the playful craft and elegant, sophisticated compositions. Layered both literally and figuratively, Ziegler’s art is, in some ways, like the publications that supply the materials; it's likely you'll find something new each time you take another look.

“I’ve played around with collage for a long time, mostly for my own fun. I’m pretty obsessed with colour – it’s how I organise most things – and the style I’m currently playing with came out of creating colour studies. I love the process of physically cutting and pasting and moving elements around until the composition works but also love the flexibility and scope digital collage can add. I use a lot of fabric texture. Particularly the way fabric is used to both hide and reveal bodies and create movement and drama.

Fish out of water (The Octopus)

  • Original collage artwork on paper

  • The series of 19 sea creatures were a delight to create – I wanted each one to have its own personality and to be both real and fantastical. I loved combining textures and elements that felt unexpected but replicated something familiar – sequins and pleats became scales and fins, mountains and rocks imitated shell and skin.

    Each one has its own quirky additions – a bit of cutlery, a Spanish dancer or fisherman, butterfly wings, a human eye... Each its own story threaded with others pulled from found pages. I can’t pick a favourite, but maybe you can?

Mona

  • A digital collage

  • Mona sees every coming and going but shares nothing – your secrets are safe with her. You’ll glimpse her in the bar, on the stairs, always watching but never prying.

    Mona is a digital collage – a composite of four faces, merged to be both a someone and no-one, an invented woman. I love the combination of reds, pinks, orange; it’s one of my favourite palettes to work with. The materials surrounding her combine snippets of both haute couture and high street fashion. I wanted her to be both dramatic and restrained – she’s welcoming you in but you’re not 100% sure what she’s thinking.
