Rebecca Nolda, “Fragments I”
Nolda’s statement does not mention a specific audience outside of
herself. She relates her attraction to
collage work to her interest in antiquated and “eroding” buildings or
objects. Her goal it to create images
that give the appearance of layered history just like a crumbling structure in
which you are able to see the pieces of what it was and what it’s become. Nolda’s collage process is additive and subtractive—she
will add layers and later remove colors or images to build a “history.” Once she feels that a work has enough
narrative she feels it is complete.
Her collage, titled “Fragments I,” is successful when judged by her personal
standards. Each layer appears to
contribute to a visual narrative while not clearly designating where each layer
beings and ends. Finally, her choice to
break up one face and use it as individual collage pieces has given the picture
a more cohesive composition.
