Elena Johnston's colourful collages are simple and tremendous

Stepping away from her usual paint-based work, Elena’s collages with their colourful array of roughly-cut shapes and subtle, contrasting textures make for a beautiful sight. With each shape delicately arranged to compeiment one another and appearing in such a way that makes you wonder the permanency of it all (is it stuck? Is it placed?), you can consider us firmly placed on the long list of Elena’s appreciators.
