Jenny Lloyd

Bio: I'm an artist and designer from the UK, now based in beautiful Amsterdam, where I make handcrafted and digital collage illustrations for magazines, album art, book covers, zines, and other custom pieces and commissions. I love to combine vintage and modern ephemera to create colourful, maximalist, escapist worlds, where new stories and fresh feelings emerge to be explored, and each piece has a spirit of its own.

Artist Statement: My love for collage comes from many things. Firstly, an attraction to curation: the process of bringing together disparate elements to make a coherent whole... like a visual remix that pays homage to the source material, but also obscures its original context. It gives me great joy to gather together fragments from daily life, combine them with long-forgotten art books and other treasured supplies, and breathe new life into pieces with materials often otherwise discarded. I'm captivated by the human need for connection to nature and our environment, and I strive to make work which expresses that fascination. I am often reminded of the ephemeral nature of existence, and for me, my ongoing practice serves to awaken memories, moments lost in time; bringing together images from the past to help look towards the future. Most of all, I aspire to bring playfulness and magic into my art – a sense of comfort and wonder.
