Über mich

Olivia Jeffries creates mixed media drawings from reclaimed paper in her studio in Norwich, United Kingdom. She graduated in 2000 with a BA in Printmaking and Photomedia from Norwich School of Art and Design.

Olivia's creative process is continually influenced by her fascination for used paper. She enthuses about working on a surface that has already been given a sense of purpose in a previous incarnation that has become visibly worn over time.

Old letters, books or packaging materials, for example, are salvaged from their original roles and combined with figures, symbols or shapes which have been stripped of their surroundings. These relatively valueless materials and simple motifs are brought together to explore the barely tangible traces of life; to project the vulnerability of love, precariousness of life and inevitability of death which embody the complex and uncertain nature of simply being human.
