ANDREA ARTZ

Three postcards taken from her artist's book entitled 'Diary of a Lost Girl'. 


'Since 2007 I have been pasting painted postcards in a diary. The content, layout, typeset and design of the diary is prone to change while the title remains. I collect old written postcards in second hand stores and use them as painting surfaces for sketches of my ideas and memories. Words written by a person I do not know, old stamps and images from a past time combined with my drawings create new meaning. Throughout the years a portrait of a fictive persona and her adventures and misadventures is documented in the diary. At the same time it serves as the inspiration and preliminary sketch for my paintings.'
