SANNE KOELEMIJ

Canberra-based artist Sanne Koelemij creates collaged compositions that recalibrate the dialogue between colour, shape and material. Her shapes warp in kaleidoscopic patterns while depth and surface merge in tactile constellations camouflaged by plays of light and colour, creating a visual tension that is both disarming and alluring.

“I became drawn to materials with interesting ‘deformities’ such as a shoe print pressed onto surfaces; like a fingerprint. This became addictive and I started collecting any type of texture I could find – I was ‘dumpster diving’ at this time!
