Inverted Space is a collection of Diepenbrock's recent figurative collages. The small personal hand-made collage studies explore the complex spaces that female figures create in a limited space. Innovative spaces are created as figures are placed over, next to, and towards each other. Negative space is used to mirror the figures in the positive space. Transparent silk fabric is used to continue to develop the interplay between figure, background/foreground and negative/positive space. Color is used to flatten the space and to foster a design aspect. Compositions are studied, enlarged and reduced to the bare essentials. The collages are a combination of fabric and hand-drawn figures in acrylic and oil pastels.

Christa Diepenbrock is a local emerging Dallas artist that received her Bachelors of Art degree at Hunter College in New York City and her Master of Fine Arts degree in painting at Texas Women's University in Denton. Her collages will be included in a group show at the Papier Museum in Duerem, Germany. She, also teaches Drawing II and Design I at Collin County Community College.
