Carol Flax

In 2013, upon moving to Cape Cod, Carol revived a technique of representational collage that she had originally developed after graduating from college. She calls her work “Cut Paper Mosaics,” as she uses scissors to cut reclaimed paper (recycling magazines, catalogs and calendars). She looks for appropriate colors and textures and cuts each piece individually for a particular shape. She applies glue and places each piece in a way that references the natural shapes and movement in the landscapes they depict. Carol uses her art-making as a lens through which to view her beautiful surroundings, in varying degrees of representation.

 

Recently, her work was selected from 1500 submissions world-wide for “Fiber Reimagined” and is featured in the Fiber Arts Now magazine (released in April 2023). Her work has also been written about in Cape Cod Magazine, Cape Cod Life, Artscope, The Enterprise, and Wikipedia. She is also the illustrator of a children’s book, If I Were a Bumble Bee, (2021).

 

While Carol occasionally shows work nationally, she mostly shows locally at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, the Cotuit Center for the Arts, the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, the Cape Cod Museum of Art, Falmouth Art Center and the Creative Art Center in Chatham.  She is also a member of Fiber Fusion, a group of artists/friends who each have a distinctive take on contemporary fiber arts. They show their work around the region.
