Magazine Shred Collage
Chef Evan Photo
Working from a photo, Paul created a paper collage using paper cut from cooking restaurant magazines.
Chef Evan Collage
Collage is a fine art form in which a variety of materials are blended into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Paul Dessau works with recycled materials—archival magazine scrap, printed items, and found objects—to create works of art with a range of colors, textures, and patterns. No paint is used. Customer input through the creation process, is included in all commissions, via frequent email images of the work in progress, to the customer. All Paul Dessau Collage materials are treated to be archival. He works from both life and photographs. Each piece is created freehand.
