The Yellow Wallpaper
Paula MacGregor, UK
| For these collaged
bookmarks I continued with a theme I was exploring during my Masters
Degree. At an auction I had bought ten wooden boards that had
once been the dividing wall of an old cottage, many layers of
wallpaper had been revealed when the wall was pulled down, exposing
over 100 years of history. What could these walls tell us? What stories and dramas had they seen? The original boards formed the backdrop for my major project, ‘The Seamstress’ which told the heart-breaking story of Ivy Sparrow. Please refer to my website for further information. Paula MacGregor - mixed media artist in assemblage and book works. My book works are not very book like in structure – I consider them to be ‘assemblages with a narrative’ The title, ‘Yellow Wallpaper’ is taken from a personal favourite piece of Victorian Gothic literature written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.  www.paulamacgregor.comback |
