FINE ART COLLAGE BY
ASHLEY ELIZABETH LAMM ~
A VISION OF REPURPOSING
At the heart of our creative process lies the art of collage, crafted by our creative partner, Ashley Elizabeth Lamm.
Each piece is composed of imagery salvaged from discarded print media ~ rescued from book flea markets, second-hand shops and recycling centers. By repurposing these forgotten pages, we breathe new life into lost narratives.
To us, books are more than vessels of information; they are cultural artifacts, preserving history and vision. With digitalization accelerating, over 320 million books are discarded annually. Our mission is to rescue a fraction of these, transforming them into a kaleidoscopic archive of our collective zeitgeist.
Merging sustainability, artistry and craftsmanship, we redefine fashion as a space where past and future converge ~ preserving stories, reshaping narratives and offering an alternative to disposable culture.
"We Begin Where Others Have Already Finished"
Each collage is entirely unique and meticulously assembled through:
-
Locally sourced, hand-cut and archived imagery, reconstructed into new compositions.
-
Off-cuts repurposed for frayed, graphic elements, creating hypnotic contrast.
-
Blank pages and scraps recycled into handmade paper for our branding, crafted in our atelier through a traditional pulp and drying process.
Within Ashley Elizabeth's work, accumulations of paper cuttings deconstruct social hierarchies by creating female goddesses and warriors that unsettle and alter the definition of the historical male hero.
Collage as a form of transplantation from one papery surface to the next is her way of forming a demand for a more diverse and intense representation of female voices and stories.
SUSTAINABLE
The material is extracted solely from elements of discarded magazines and second hand books, repurposing paper and redefining its use by creating new contexts in which it can unfold.
CUSTOM MADE
Since the iconic turn people structure their thoughts by mentally saving images, thus creating a collective pictorial memory. These elementary imageries can be embodied within custom made collages, that reincarnate personal stories.
INTRICATE
Dive into the artist's world and explore enumerable elements selected from images of the natural world, excerpts of machinery and human made objects.
