Sara Fanelli's work experiments with text and collage, her backgrounds are often pieces of paper torn from exercise books, graph paper and wallpaper, usually stained or marked in some way. I like how that gives a roughness to her work, like a journal or scrap book feel. Her illustrations are abstract, she sticks bits cut from photographs, pieces of fabric, snippets of newsprint and other media to create creatures or pictures. I see her illustrations as quite a child-like style, she uses her imagination on her pages.
This illustration fits very well with my theme for this unit. I love how the big top is made from different medias and the characters going into it, looking quite abstract. I like the text on the floor, I'd like to use this in some of my illustrations in future.
