Cass Art: Celebrating Collage, Deborah Saks

Deborah Saks began her artistic career as a photographer and began experimenting with collage in 2009.   She fell in love with the medium.  Her collages are all created from hand-cut paper.  She uses vintage and archival papers, newspapers, maps, sheet music, images from old and current magazines, antique ribbons and buttons.  She loves the way paper creates texture and layers in collage.  Deborah approaches her collages from an experimental angle and loves seeing the colours and designs emerge.  As Picasso said “I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.”
