About Christine Timmons

Timmons’ work with collage issues from a lifelong interest and involvement with art, craft, textiles, design, and working with her hands.

"I love getting past the
initial uncertainty of beginning a new piece and gradually
discovering a path through the labyrinth of building a collage," Timmons said.
"While working on a piece, I'm always looking for a visual tension (and harmony)
among the elements ― many of them pieces torn from my trove of 
old monoprints and often papers that I've painted. Most of my collages 
nowadays are abstract, and I work principally with paper but often 
combine it with fabric and occasionally with paint and other media and objects."

Before the pandemic, Timmons began learning to work with encaustics (pigmented hot wax), which contain a "mysterious quality" that both intrigues her and informs her art. Unfortunately, Covid shut down the school where she had been studying, putting a pause to her encaustics efforts for quite a while. Recently she has begun taking encaustics workshops
again, excited by the prospect of exploring more about combining encaustics with collage.
