Collages: Collected Constructions
Callum Docherty

Artist Statement
The series was largely developed in the studio, working from home through the Covid lockdown, using materials found in the outside world, such as discarded books, magazines and journals which became of interest through this time. Constructing the works is a process driven practice akin to problem solving exercises and eventually emerge as surprising, reimagined perspectives with contemplative, poetic narratives.
