Jennifer Collier practice focuses on creating work
from paper; by bonding, waxing, trapping and
stitching she produces unusual paper fabrics, which are used to explore the remaking of household objects. The papers are treated as if cloth, with the main technique employed being stitch; a contemporary twist on traditional textiles. The papers themselves serve as both the inspiration and the media for her work, with the narrative of the books and papers suggesting the forms. She tends to find items then investigate a way in which they can be reused and transformed; giving new life to things that would otherwise go unloved or be thrown away.
