I was the featured artist at our recent quarterly Open Studios at the Mill,\u00a0<\/em>held on February 13.\u00a0My show focused on a series of revamped and new Salvage Collages<\/em> as well as some acrylic paintings done on book board covers, utilizing my materials in a new way. I worked on pieces feverishly right up until it was time to get the show hung.<\/p>\n

Artist Statement about my Salvage Collages:<\/p>\n

Dayna Collins has always loved old books. She hyperventilates at the sight of books which are stained, defaced, torn or marked up. She rips battered books apart, reclaiming their faded fragments, and creates collages using only materials she has excavated.\u00a0 Dayna’s mixed media pieces reflect the passage of time, repurposing the scraps that are worn and weathered, transforming the aged and tattered pieces into something unexpected and beautiful, celebrating their fragile decay.<\/em><\/p>\n

My husband hung my show in two stages, and it turns out he has quite a knack for curating and hanging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The end result was quite nice.<\/p>\n
