Piece description from the artist
I argue that like cooking, collage can largely be boiled down to balancing relationships. For this garden scene, the main challenge was deciding which places on the canvas to animate and which to subdue. In order to highlight the strawberry without feeling too one-note, I introduced broken text and oranges into the greenery to suggest a breeze. A little movement helped wake up a scene that would have felt sleepy otherwise, but any more would have felt chaotic.
Carolyn Beehler is a paper artist living in Franklin, Tennessee. She was born in California but grew up in the South. She attended elementary school on Henpeck Lane and finished with art school in that same town at O’More College of Design. She spent the next number of years traveling to places like Shanghai, Italy and L.A., because she worried she’d settle down and never get to see the world. She returned in 2014 and now works as a paper artist. Carolyn also likes gardening, reading and baking.
