Emily Benefield creates fresh art from old pages
Part-time library assistant Emily Benefield is always on the lookout for the right images and headlines to cut out and include in her collage artworks, but she says she’s only ‘’occasionally’’ tempted to take to the library stocks with her scissors.
“Luckily there’s not much I come across at work that I’d want to chop up, so I don’t get tempted to delete books out of the system for my own purposes,” Benefield laughs.
The Lower Hutt based artist sources much of her imagery from vintage magazines and children’s books of the 1930s to 1960s and delights in juxtaposing the prim and proper characters and scenes with an irreverent twist.
