Artist Statement
This collection for “Imagining Your Dreams” is about experiencing dreams as snippets of a whole. Dreams frequently seem like fully formed stories, but upon waking they disintegrate into partially-remembered pieces. I often dream of childhood, long-departed family members, and places in the distant past. These collages attempt to replicate that fragmented feeling.

Bio
Erin Kirk New has been a book designer for over two decades. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia with a concentration in Graphic Design. She often incorporates elements of collage into her book design work. After years of  creating images digitally she decided to turn away from the computer and explore a hands-on approach. Her collages incorporate typography, linear elements, and printed materials from the past.
