Emily Benefield - The joy of collage

From Afternoons, 1:33 pm on 21 September 2021

The thought of chopping up books may sound like sacrilege to many of us readers, but what if it was for art? Wellington collage artist and librarian Emily Benefield has been doing just that for her upcoming exhibition at The Thistle Hall in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. She joins Jesse to explain where she sees the line between destruction and creation.
