Sara Fanelli likes to use collage as her preferred medium of
work. She collects all of her own collage material and these items are normally
significant to her in some way. For example, old stationary material from the
20th Century. Or old newspapers and sweet wrappers. She also says “Almost
all of the images are inspired by a text. They are visual interpretations of
the ideas contained in the text I chose.” So text and materials are two of the
most important things to her when creating an illustration.
Here is an example of her work, from her book "dear diary". Showcasing the various materials she uses in her collage.
Here is a piece of work I produced, in response to seeing her work. I used a quote because she gets inspired by text, so I made sure to find this before I started working.
I enjoyed working this way, even though I'm not normally a fan of collage, but her method of finding a quote to inspire me first really helped.
