Past Exhibitions Biography CV Statement Press
Drawing inspiration from an inheritance of a collector’s cache of vintage magazines and paper goods, Rotholtz’s mixed media collages transcend the typical boundaries of color, pattern, and line. Her work ends up being a form of targeted recycling—reconstructing new meaning from ephemeral objects. Unexpected collisions of pattern and mysterious shapes appear on the page, as if floating in mid-air. She uses the tactile nature of collage—the layers, the glue, the weight of the paper—to explore new dimensions in the medium.
“Sometimes having so many collage elements to choose from can become a double-edged sword—really interesting on the one hand, but sometimes a bit daunting when all the pieces are laid out in front of you. I get invested in the many possibilities for each piece, and limiting the scope is a challenge. The only remedy is perseverance and work.”

“Collage is one of the best idea generators. It’s sort of like doing quick drawings, working without any real direction.”
