Anne Pirlot

My name is Anne Pirlot, Middleton resident and self-taught paper ripper.

I make colorful collages that feel fresh and full of energy. I love how the torn edges and transparent layers of tissue paper let colors mix in surprising ways. Even with a knowledge of color theory, I never know exactly how the papers will interact until they’re on the page.

I often throw in splashes of black and use bold patterns like polka dots and stripes to add a sense of rhythm.

I like playing with color combinations. Magenta and orange? Yes, please. For me, creating collages is intuitive and fun, and I don’t intellectualize the process or the results. My hope is that these collages bring a little dopamine hit to whoever sees them.
