Fraccionamiento

tourist, part-time resident,

distracted by so much color 

side by side

too much to see all at once

here but not 

from

here

finding landmarks, 

to find my way

Fraccionamiento

This series of collages was made when I first moved to Mazatlan Mexico full time. They reflect my experiences of navigating through a new city feeling a little disoriented by the vibrant color, noise and activity throughout the day.

I photographed buildings and street scenes which I then cut and glued onto small wood panels. The areas of negative space werefilled with shades of gouache paint further connecting sight lines with color. I was interested in how collage can re-create a fragmented version of a time/space linear walk.

Nicole LeBoutillier

Nicole LeBoutillier is a Canadian artist.

Her work delves into representations of place pulling from practices of mapping using drawing and collage techniques. Through the processes of accumulation and assembling objects, on one level the work is a reflection of her physical environment and on another a distillation of personal experience.

She is known for her large-scale wall installations of assembled shapes and her abstract drawings which employ mixed techniques using combinations of gouache, oil paint, collage, chalk, charcoal and graphite.
