Mandy works from her studio in her home. She is an avid collector of found papers, patterned envelopes, magazine imagery, old photographs and postcards. Her collages, made in sketchbooks, are created from these materials and other media. These mixed-media drawings are then developed into the relief prints she produces.
MANDY BRAY – WORK
Mandy’s work depicts figurative, architectural and landscape compositions. Her small-scale collages are assembled from a variety of source material, inspired by her love of colour, pattern and shape. These design elements are carried through into her print work, creating hand-printed linocuts using single/multiple blocks layered over areas of mono-printed colour.
