Throughout the month of September, Ritva will have a solo show at Cottrell house. She brings us into another world through her layered collages, and onto a skyline so familiar and at the same time completely unique. 

Here are a few words from Ritva!

'I love how edifices, towers are outlined against the sky or reflect on the glass walls or on the water..
Buildings are like gigantic sculptures, which can be manipulated and restructured according to my own plan. I create my collages by assembling layers upon layers, piece by piece like a patchwork. I use photographic prints of mine and cut them the way I used to cut out clothes for the paper dolls as a child. I play around with collage pieces as if they were magician's cards. They constantly shift until the composition settles.' www.ritvaraitsalo.com
