I pair vintage books and postcards with my dark sense of humor to create collages that delve into social issues.

I begin each series with an intent and then begin hunting. Once I establish a text source for a series, I do not allow myself to use any other sources.

The work is time consuming and the finished products often expose my dismal view of the world. :)

Like my collages? Here are five ways to support my work:

-Purchase a print
-Commission a collage for your project or publication
-License an existing collage for editorial usage
-Follow @papergluedtopaper on instagram
-Share my work with credit AND a link to this website

P.S. I'm also a photographer. You can view my portfolio here: www.jenaardell.com
