About Sylvia
Facebook: bandykephotocollage
Sylvia Bandyke, from Royal Oak, MI, relies on the collage format to integrate associated images into a cohesive unit that is even more compelling because of the embedded story. Having been a playwright and technical writer, she is used to delivering content with a message. Now as a visual communicator, she continues to provide meaning via the structure of the collage format, wherein the four photos confirm, augment or even contradict each other.
Bandyke enjoys offering the richness provided by the multiplicity of images along with the impact gained through thoughtful positioning of them. She began her art career by displaying in ArtPrize, an independent international art competition in Grand Rapids MI, from 2014-2018.
Subsequently she was juried into over 100 group exhibits in 23 states and accepted into many online international shows. Her hope is that her work will act a doorway to the viewers' own mental/emotional framework regarding the images, offering a personal experience.
