Lena Tan Resides: Vancouver, B.C. I like to collage with the ephemera that one way or another insert themselves into our lives, the "stuff" that usually goes into garbage and recycling bins: old magazines, junk mail, and other found material. I make ATCs to re-purpose and recycle a miniscule part of the mountains of waste that our culture creates. As a former graphic artist, my instruments are steel rule, triangles, knife, scissors and glue. I have incorporated line tape, transfer lettering, acetate and rubylith (leftovers from a past life - younger people will not know what these are) into my ATCs. For me, ATCs are a means for spontaneous expression of my world view, which includes the social, political and environmental, and also for enjoying the work of other creatives.
