TRAVEL COLLAGES
In 2024, a+a Studio Artist, Dee Etzwiler, launched an additional focus to her work: creating Travel Collages for individuals and travel companies. Travel Collages are personalized, visual travel stories. Using a collaborative design process, Dee and her clients co-create these meaningful works of art that capture the spirit of memorable trips. To produce a Travel Collage, Dee discusses with her clients what imagery they might want to collect during an upcoming trip. Images might include colors, patterns, textures, landscapes, buildings, people, maps, and journal entries. Upon completion of travels, Dee collects her client’s images and co-develops a list of descriptive words and phrases that reflect travel impressions.
Inspired by the ‘descriptor list’ and collected images, Dee digitally develops beautiful, abstract, and colorful Travel Collages. Clients are kept updated as the piece evolves. Dee also provides mock-up pictures of how the piece(s) will look in the intended installation space to insure that colors, dimensions and other aspects of the work are appropriate. Once Travel Collages are completed they are professionally printed (a choice of printing materials is available).
Whether Dee creates one Travel Collage or a series of Travel Collages for her clients, these personal works of art will spark intrigue and evoke lively conversations — and will be cherished for years to come. If you have a Travel Collage project in mind, please contact Dee at a+a Studio.
