Sandy Bleifer
Los Angeles, CA
"Cutting edge & experimental uses of paper evoking landscape imagery as well as social issues."
Sandy Bleifer is a Venice Beach artist, working with handmade/art papers & mixed media since the mid-70s, pushing the boundaries of the substance/medium. Paper is not only surface for the image, but a painting and sculpting material in and of itself.
Q&A
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"I maintain 2 collections: (1) images waiting for a paper idea to express them, and, (2) papers and paper manipulation techniques waiting for an image that will suggest what I can do with them. When I “straighten out” my studio clutter and handle these source materials, often I see the connections that I can make between the image and the art material/technique. And I can start to develop a new piece."
