What does looking at the world through the lens of a kaleidoscope reveal? Fractured, abstract images, unexpected patterns and beautiful symmetry. Looking at her existing work in this way inspired artist and wood engraver Anne Desmet RA to think afresh about ideas of time and change.
To create this new series, Desmet used her wood-engravings and linocuts to make kaleidoscopic collages. Her approach was intuitive, seeing where one image may lead to the next. New collages evolved almost spontaneously. They evoke hot-air balloons, Towers of Babel, imaginary worlds and modules for sustainable living. The works allow the viewer to look at architecture from an entirely new angle.
