Face As Narrative


I am enjoying working away again, still sewing up collages. I have a nice stack that might end up bound in book form.
I have not used many faces or figures in my collages in the past but since I had all of these vallum prints, this week's work has become a series of sorts. My current offerings contain vintage ephemera and black and white threshold portrait images. The face readily contains a narrative and any art that implies "story" feeds the imagination. I'm having fun fantasizing about the women in these pieces, especially on this day's celebration of the International Women's Day.
