Canadian artist Emily Filler weaves painting, printmaking and photography together in her ‘painterly collages’. Using old photographs, pieces of fabric, and silk-screened images to create imaginary landscapes and whimsical bouquets of flowers, Filler’s artwork walks the line between the real and imaginary. Flowers act as a departure point to a world that dissolves into abstraction, thereby creating a sense of the familiar, but also the feeling that one is falling into a dream. What began as fragments are finalized into a complete image; something whole. Filler's work has been exhibited across North America and can be found in private and corporate collections worldwide.
