The Remains of the Day: A layering of lifeʼs remnants

From Berri Kramer: 
Collage is a curious method, constructed in layers, base to surface, top to bottom, left to right, all at the same time. Life is a juggle, requiring balance and motion concurrently. One can always do more OR leave well enough
alone. The more risks there are, the more options appear. These thoughts surface constantly in my work. Events, places, people and ideas assume different characteristics in life depending on “who” they are “standing or sitting” next to. Patterned hues with torn edges adopt a particular point of view.
My background as a quilter was the foundation for the “piecing” in my work. I focus on similar narratives, resolved through different mediums. The individual elements are collected and “married” into a format that will not only tell a story, but hopefully conjur up up emotions and memories that were once hidden away. It is an honoring of precious remnants of the past that I hold dear.

This collection of work will include Collage, Mixed media and Encaustic.
