Ever since a child I have always been in awe of Jeannie Baker's collage illustrations. I recently went to an exhibition of her book Mirror at the State Library of WA, and now I am even more in love and inspired. The detail, texture, relief and beauty in each of her collages is incredible. She researches and explores the landscapes she creates, collecting soil, plants, fabric, feathers, anything to build the image. The patience required to create something so intricate and detailed! If you are in Perth, go and see her work, it is even more incredible seeing the originals. The exhibition runs until the 28th of September.
