“Ortiz-Gadler” creations are the result of a process of deconstruction, construction, and reconstruction.
They work with paper because it is simple and pure, yet simultaneously a reflection of lives, images, and thoughts.
Antique books, magazine photographs, family letters, and old postcards find new life in their collage creations.
In their creative practice, every element making up the collage loses its individual identity to become part of a new, collective piece; this is then meticulously hand-cut into numerous fragments and reassembled layer by layer.
