How does Frances Hansen use her collections in her artwork?
Hansen collects domestic things such as aprons, oven mitts, curtain nets, face cloths, headboards, affirmations as well as packaging materials. She studies them then later puts them into use. A childhood habit.Hansen rearranges the recycled bits into artworks of her own. She hangs them on hooks, stretches them, pins them up on the wall, or just displays it in a scene. Experiments with these materials produced very successful works.

How do I use collection in my work??
I study theology most of the time during my own time its what I enjoy doing and it apart of me. I note quotes down from my daily devotionals and also use bible verses as reference to my artwork. It isn’t easy because I need to be aware of not making my work subjective. But it somehow works.
The most enjoyable part is finding the appropriate idea to demonstrate the gospel that’s referred, and then seeing the viewers respond to it.

How does Whitfield Lovell use collection in their work???
Lovell uses various collections of both personal and anonymous photographs, cultural symbols, Mexican folk art and domestic artifacts as material and inspiration for his work.
Lovell makes portraits by drawing on paper and wood panels. His more recent portraits are based on 20th-century studio photographs of anonymous African Americans that Lovell has collected from flea markets and antique stores.

Thanks Tyce! Really interesting! And I like the look of Whitfield Lovell's work.
I am curious though, why don't you want your artworks to be subjective? Personally I feel it's impossible to make them anything but subjective.
