Win a One-of-a-Kind Paper Cut Collage by Marion Elliot
About the Prize:
We have Quilting, a one-of-a-kind cut-paper collage by Marion Elliot to give away.
"I love traditional patchwork quilts" says Elliot, "particularly those created from scraps of old clothing, as they are mementoes of life as well as useful objects." In this collage, Elliot explores the rich patterns that emerge from repeating geometric shapes, creating beautifully tessellated designs.
The artwork measures 35 x 40 cm.
Worth £500.
About Marion Elliot:
Featured in Selvedge Issue 129, Repeat, Marion Elliot is a cut-paper collage artist whose work celebrates British folk and vernacular culture. Inspired by shop fronts, fairgrounds, trade banners and canal boats, she is especially drawn to heritage crafts such as thatching, willow weaving and clog-making. Her work carefully records the tools, traditions and quiet beauty of everyday making.
An avid accumulator of paper ephemera, Elliot creates her own richly textured papers using a range of printmaking techniques. She cuts each element by hand with embroidery scissors, building detailed scenes that feel both nostalgic and fresh. Her collages highlight the visual language of popular art and the mass-produced imagery that has shaped British culture since the Industrial Revolution.
Elliot began her career as a writer, stylist and art director for clients including F&W Media, David & Charles, Hachette, Hallmark, IPC Magazines and National Magazines. She has published 25 books on design and exhibited internationally in the UK, USA and Japan. A graduate of Liverpool College of Art and the Sir John Cass School of Art and Design, she now teaches on the BA Illustration course at Hereford College of Arts.
Her illustrations appear on books, greetings cards and tea towels, with clients and stockists including Design for Today, Tinsmiths, Pentreath & Hall, The Shop Floor Project, Selvedge Magazine, Compton Verney Museum and Cannsdown Press.
