In her collages Gartz combines her drawings and photographs with photos of film stars and other heroes. In her latest collages the image of Bruce Lee is combined with vulnerable notes and imperfect drawings. ‘I am looking for funny, fluent and furious combinations. To me Bruce Lee is an example, the perfect Kung Fu fighter, a master of body and mind, a philosopher and a poet'.
