AN EXHIBITION of unique collages by Jana Sojka is on show in the Intro Bar of Kendal's Brewery Arts Centre.

Jana's Retro Nature is running until September 29. She says her work is made of sensuality and intuition: "Each of my collage is unique, a combination of old ephemera, magazines clippings and old photographs that I find in vintage shops. I also get a lot of support from people who help me find beautiful pieces of past times. Each collage becomes incorporated with little drawings and marks that on one hand reveals itself in a most obscure way, but on the other hand tells me where to go and how to make it.

"I only observe how things follow their natural course."

Jana - originally from Poland, now based in Kendal - adds that she loves people viewing her work without knowing anything about her: "It's so intriguing. We are not meant to be defined by anything or anyone. My goal as an artist is to leave everything undefined, including myself."
