How often is a stack of playboy magazines considered a business expense?
For Janna Yotte, a Montreal-based art director and visual artist, anything printed is fair game, and once she extracts the images from their magazines with her x-acto knife, they become a potential ingredient for her collages.
She sources her images using everything from fashion editorials, science textbooks, magazine ads for luxury items, National Geographics, and anything else she finds interesting. Some cutouts are neatly organized together in her office under curious labels (such as "mains à découper"), but most just find their place wherever there is room—her ever-growing collection can hardly be contained in her drawers, spilling over her floor and couch.
