Looking/Not Looking: nine contour drawing collages by Lori Langille

Lori Langille

The Looking/Not Looking collage series features contour drawings layered with vintage 19th century images. Here the act of contour drawing, (observing an object closely and drawing it without looking down at the page) offsets the structured approach of collage, breaking up the detailed vintage images with a loose, spontaneous line.
