I create Polage® art, a term I coined from polarized light collage. All my work starts as a drawing. Then I follow the drawing, cutting various thicknesses of clear colorless cellulose in the form of cellophane into hundreds of tiny pieces at different angles, laminating each piece between polarizing filters.

Polage® art may be interactive, kinetic, or passively viewed like stained glass. Austine prefers to work in all three modes because each image is conceived to convey a particular idea or feeling. This video demonstrates several types of viewers that can be used to participate in interactive Polage® artwork. We have also incorporated viewers into windows, glass partitions, hanging sculptures and motorized kiosks.
