Her unique pieces are created using a fusion of hand collage and digital print which might be developed into large scale hangings or folding books held in encaustic collage covers and boxes. Sequences of image evolve from ideas which explore the seen and the unseen in landscape; the patterns which underlie the apparent chaos of organic life, the movement of air and water and the structures, symbols and myths with which human beings impose order on the environment. Pat’s recent work has included collaborative projects – the latest one is ‘Iceland stories’ which evolved from a residency in Iceland – working alongside a poet and a sound artist. Pat’s techniques involve layering of paper tissue and silk using cellulose paste – fusing this into a complex ‘substrate’. Over this tactile, multi layered surface is printed a digital image. Embedded within the layers are fragments of scribbles, pattern, scraps of maps, diagrams, cut shapes and thread. This technique allows text, colour and pattern to be hidden or revealed through interplay between translucent surface and the layers beneath.
