Explore ideas of wilderness, wildlife, and the connections between humans, nature, and objects. What does “wild” mean to you? It could be found in nature, people, behaviour, places, or imagination. Experiment with natural materials such as pressed flowers, moss, stones, and handmade papers. Try frottage (texture rubbing) techniques and mix these materials with images and papers to create your own unique collage.
