This Quirky Queue is created from one issue of Vogue magazine (May 2012). It is a very gradual unplanned process where all my favourite pieces are torn and cut from the magazine itself. The back drop pieces are chosen and collaged onto the canvas. This first layer is further worked on with acrylics, ink, lead and crayons to create a scene which slowly starts to evolve along with the mark making process. Once a scene is developed outfits are chosen and characters are created and placed in position. Once the narrative starts to happen I glue them into position and give them all all an abstract head with a drizzle of nail polish. Then I dress them up further in real ‘paper-doll’ style with accessories cut from the Vogue. Final embellishments are made to bring the piece together as a whole. This piece is varnish finished to ensure longevity.

Dimensions are 49cm x 137cm Professionally framed in white wood.
