The visual artistic expression of collage branches out into a myriad of genres, but common to all is the technique, where composite elements of widely differing materials are glued on a solid background in layers. Collage artists use everything from newspaper and magazine clippings to photographs and three-dimensional objects. In this way they create a wealth of structures, put elements together in surprising ways and show the selection of our past, contemporary and future.

Today, artists still use the techniques of the collage, and Museum for Papirkunst can now present: Memories Attached: Collage as craft with Anne Misfeldt (b. 1971).

Misfeldt graduated from Kolding School of Design and has illustrated both printed and woven textiles for many years. She works as an art craftsman, illustrator, and an art educator and has exhibited on several platforms around the world.

“With love for the tactility of materials, I primarily work with analoge collage. I use vintage materials such as old papers, books, magazines, and photographs and strive to create coherence between the tactile and the visual. It’s always about getting the right connections between the paper, the images, and the narratives. The artistic process can start with a word, a letter or an image with an “unknown“ story that kicks off the imagination.” - Anne Misfeldt.
