PATRCIA VIDOUR's view on her Collages

I download a piece our ArtWanted member Patricia Vidour wrote as comment at her own work:

---------------- She wrote:

".........I play with old papers in my paintings, I integrate them and they become a new reality. I believe in collage art as recycling, and it's something that helps maintain a healthy environment. We don't always need a new piece of paper to create a painting. We can try to reuse what we already have. We can help keep trash out of the landfills. How can a piece of paper be reused? These items can be recycled. and become an artwork!! I make a collage out of what I find my my huge recycling bag - magazines, newspapers, notes, wrapping papers, small objects such as buttons, pins, charms and any fun memorabilia. It's not only a new artwork but also a memory from what I have read or a gift I receive!! It's a way to Transform the Ordinary into the Extraordinary!!......."

How true is that??
