Artist research- Beci Orpin

I found this Illustrator, Beci Orpin, who creates wonderful textures collage pieces, which I found really relevant to my project.

This is an interview from her.

Beci Orpin

WHAT DO I LIKE:

- How she uses tentative yet defined shapes to to boldly plan out compositions, and let the audience fill in the blank spaces

- She also uses textures to add a handmade quality to the work and ensure it doesn't stay flat on the page

- I also like how she uses rough cut lines instead of dainty, thin pen lines, as they tie the composition together and give a sense of place on the page

WHAT WILL I DO:

- Continue to use paper cut to get the unique shapes and forms

- Use textured offcuts to ensure that my work feels more three dimensional and has further interest in it

- Think carefully about composition and ensure I don't fill up my page too much- don't be afraid of white space!
