Paper Collages by Elana Bloom

My name is Elana and I’m natural dyer and visual artist based in Tucson, Arizona making illustrative cut paper collages from naturally dyed papers. I love the the process of making a collage: I create an intricate drawing and then use tiny scissors and tweezers to piece my work together. My collages reflect my internal world and I often depict mountains, deserts, and canyons as a backdrop to explore concepts most central to me. I also dye silk scarves with plants. I also do commissioned collages of places and concepts nearest to the hearts of my clients.
