Now open at the Beach Burrito Wollongong gallery, the exhibition  – under Collins’ Poncho Army pseudonym – is a 12-piece series combining stencilling, screen-printing and spray paint.

There are also at least 17 prints made of each work in the series and the artistic process saw each individual print handled about 10 times.

“That’s an average but some of them get handled a lot more than that,” Ms Collins said.

“In total there are over 200 handmade prints. It’s time-consuming but I would never get the results with digital printing.”

It’s still fewer works than was involved in Collins’ previous Fight or Flight exhibition – she made 55 versions of each work for that one.

“At the end of that I said that was just insane, I’m never doing 55 again.” she said.

“And I had a year to do that and I wasn’t working, so that’s why I’m doing 17 of each work now.”

Ms Collins said the works that make up Offbeat were inspired by images she took while travelling to teach street art workshops in places like Maryborough, Albury, Chester Hill and Dubbo.

“This year I’ve been travelling around regional Australia painting public art murals,” she said.

“These works in the exhibition are based on photos I took. When I was travelling I’d take my time getting to the places, because I never get holidays, so I’d take a few nights to get somewhere.

“I just wanted to see little places along the way that I’d never been to before. It was a good way to see more of Australia.”

The photos form the basis of an illustration which is then turned into the finished work.

They’re not images of touristy locations; Ms Collins was more drawn to places that were a little bit off the beaten track.

Her favourite spot was in fact quite a way off the beaten track.

“I pulled off the highway in Yamba to take some photos of the sugar cane,” she said.

“I ended up down this dirt road and thought I would keep going. I drove for kilometres through the sugar cane. I eventually ended up at a site with loads of old boats decaying in the paddocks.

“For me that’s pretty much like finding heaven.”

Each A3 print will be on sale for $35 and, unlike most prints, each one is different.

Ms Collins has used spray paint, glow in the dark paint splatters and different shades to make each work individual.

Offbeats opens at the Beach Burrito Wollongong gallery on December 4 and will be on exhibition throughout the month.
