Wilder Collage x Eileen Wallace —
Join artist Eileen Wallace in the Wilder Membership as she presents a Work & Process Artist Talk!
Tuesday, February 27th | 9am PST, 12pm EST
I’m so excited to welcome Eileen and I hope you can join us! Coming from a bookbinding tradition and the need to keep the pages flat, she uses sheet adhesive and the collages have no overlapping elements; in other words, the shapes just touch or are fitted together like marquetry in woodworking. Eileen will include source information for my materials at the end of the presentation!

“Line, pattern, shape, and repetition are concepts that guide my investigation into the space between things and where things meet: where one thing becomes another, where things shift along a line, the horizon, the negative space between elements on a page, and the pairing of shapes. For me, these are ways to experience expansiveness, tension, and balance. The endless horizon line on the flat plane of the Mississippi Delta shaped my visual language from an early age and attempting to capture that elusive sense of place is a persistent goal.
