Carpe Diem

A photo collage of a vintage image of a beautiful show girl holding aloft a big golden carp - surrounded by a golden frame and stars - a playful interpretation of the text - Carpe Diem!

Rhona creates prints out of a love of word play, vintage ephemera, vintage graphics and collage. Images are carefully chosen before combining them with her own original drawings/photos then text is added if appropriate to the image. By mixing the old with the new, black and white with colour, original photos, drawings and text to vintage ephemera the resulting mixed media photo-montages become a meeting of past and present, a contemporary twist on a bygone era.
