Combining the Greek words kolla: glue, and graph: drawing, Collagraph is a method of printmaking which gives expression to found objects.
In Secret garden, impressions of urban natural and unnatural debris are used to depict surreal yet familiar scenes of central Tāmaki Makaurau, where infrastructure and plant life intertwine. These prints remove the line between what is organic and what is not, critiquing illusions of distance from ‘the environment’ as Brie searches for a sense of belonging in the big city.
