Artist Blog 21: Jennifer Collier


Jennifer Collier creates wonderfully crafted paper household products with just bounding, waxing, and stitching paper and fabric together. Most of Collier's pieces remind me of feminine yearly nineteenth and eighteenth century objects like tea cups, watering can, typewriter, sewing machine, shoes, and others. What makes these objects very feminine is the type of paper she uses. The papers used to create most some objects are floral. All her artwork is created just of paper and fabrics, this making the objects hollow inside. The papers used to create the objects have some kind of tie with the object. The binoculars are made out of sheet music; this ties together because binoculars were used at operas or plays. Collier did a great job with detail. Every object is created to the smallest detail. Every angle is precise and shaped well. To create a better effect for the binoculars and camera Collier added a plastic material to make them more realistic and seam functional. I love the camera. I really like the map paper that is used to create it. I also like the style of the camera. This also corresponds with the twentyth century, which is the main theme in all her work.
