"Manipulation of the photograph is as old as photography itself."
Dawn Ades
Roslyn's images are assembled without any formal overriding structure or reason; instead, the presentation encourages the viewer to formulate connections or relationships based on arbitrary notions of proximity or perceived similarities. Taken from glossy magazines, the images are hand-cut and pasted together in an art of deciphering forms. Meanings are deliberately left ambiguous and open-ended.
The scenes composed are inspired by images from the past, the mis en scène paintings by the old masters depicting allegorical imagery, theatre, cinematography, and the ubiquity of modern advertising. Roslyn uses paper in her work because of its humble and quotidian nature. She uses simple understated 'found' images that are disposable, pre-existing, coloured, varied, static and recognisable, and transforms them from mundane to monumental.
At final composition, like film stills, Roslyn Vallejo's work represents something that is remembered at a point in a story, or that is fleeting and forgotten. The viewer engages with these constructed compositions like an intimate encounter.
Printed media and printmaking methods are diverse, varied and all around us which take many shapes and forms. Roslyn Vallejo’s work and artistic practice utilises and comments on the realm of print. This includes pre-existing printed media such as magazines, the everyday photocopy and commercial printing methods such as reprographics. In addition traditional based printmaking processes are also used such as intaglio and relief methods, paper based lithography, photopolymer and acrylic resist etching.

trains through snowy landscapes, walking in knee-deep snow with heavy luggage, putting a wild dog in his place, making decisions, making not enough decisions, looking for answers, finding more questions, arriving in Istanbul, beautiful sunshine, spending 2-3 weeks, too much bread, not enough tea without sugar, Whirling Dervishes, grilled fish sandwiches, sad departures, return to flooded kitchen, lots of disinfectant and now I am here, gazing through my window, into a sunny world. Time to re-join that life here. Welcome home to me. How is the world from your window?
A splash of pink
