Audrey Guttman / Making Arrangements
« In Making Arrangements, Audrey Guttman combines collages and poems she has written. This is the first time that the she has brought the two mediums together. One exists without the other, but together they are complementary. The words are supported by images that the artist takes care to leave in a state as close to their original nature as possible. Swathes of bright colour act as vases for the black-and-white floral arrangements taken from the book. Audrey Guttman’s arrangements work based on contrast: between untamed nature and the ordered nature of ikebana, a highly codified art that is shaken up by the artist, and between plants and humans, with plants acting as characters and human bodies adopting the whimsical nature of flowers. » - Rebecca Zissmann
