Welcome ToAustine's Gallery

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.

Austine at Work

Austine cuts hundreds of tiny pieces of optically active films into shapes forming a colorful image, much as stained glass artists cut glass. Angle and thickness determines the color.

Polage® Art in Action

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.
