Amy Alice is an Ottawa based mixed media artist who makes collages using photographs from vintage catalogues, encyclopedia and other ephemera. I especially love the "Owl Girls" series featuring fairy-tale children with birds' heads.

"Her collages simultaneously evoke a familiar world- a bucolic realm of birds, insects, moonlight and natural phenomena-and invest it with a perplexing symbolic potential. In the strange inter-zone of these images, the moon flips upside-down, birds have the bodies of girl-children, starlight comes down to earth, and the fragile innocence of childhood haunts the night sky."
