Collage Paintings

Botanicals out of place

Through painterly intervention, Newton explores the tension between the fracture point between preservation and decay. Making highly detailed photographs she digitally reassembles them, introducing human elements suggesting how nature has to adjust itself in order to survive.

The Practice

Physicality of the Surface

Intuitive Interventions

Each collage is a unique original work, built through intuitive physical manipulation of photographic surfaces. This process is constantly evolving through the seasons with different art processes to transform the collected botanical specimens ready for closer observation and transform into new visual experiences.

Precision and Ambiguity

The work balances the precision of the lens with the expressive ambiguity of the hand. Digital image-making merges with painterly processes to reveal new perspectives within natural forms.
