I do use quite a bit of sort of collage in my work but it’s not particularly sort of a traditional collage. I’m not really actually doing cut and stick with a pair of scissors. What I’m tending to do is scanning found objects that I like that will make the book seem more realistic.
For example, in Wolves, I really wanted to make this image of a wolf actually read in a book. I wanted to make the book look exactly like the book that you were reading. So I book-bound the book and scanned that into my computer and then started to use that throughout the book. And I think it just makes it feel a little bit more real sometimes to use collage. But you can alter things. I use the computer a lot to alter things in PhotoShop so that you can make them the right size for whatever you’re using — whatever drawing you’re using.
