Dream Gallery
Dream Gallery
Cut and paste: I take scissors to masterpieces and assemble my own little world. A feminist re-visioning, if you will, but mostly it just pleases me.
I first made collages for my imaginary friend, The Odalisque’s, blog. But I do it now whenever I need to get at some kind of feeling or image in a non-verbal way, or to work my way into a painting that almost-mirrors my imagination’s interior pantheon.
Most of the images I use are from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I layer in snapshots from my life, typed text, and hand-writing on note paper.
These dainties decorate this entire site, but here’s a slideshow of a few that are particularly meaningful to me.
