“So close”
From my walk to work this morning, a lost half-mannequin on the street. Does anyone else want to play the “what is she thinking game”?
“I wonder if this is how Venus d’Milo got started.”
“Well, my mother was right. She always said Steve had an obsession with that chain saw. And it was just one limb after another.”

Cheryl Molnar’s Landscape Collages

The Hamlet

Cheryl Molnar is a collage and multimedia artist, and in fact what I first thought were sharp-edged paintings are carefully composed and assembled landscapes. Unfortunately, my camera is adding the 70s yellowish cast to these photographs (and no, this is not an Instagram filter, just a bad photo). I liked how her landscapes captured the quintessence of places, even as the collage pieces fractured the space into geometric, almost abstract designs.

The edges show just a bit at the end, and you can also see the transparency of the layers here.

Voila–something not yellowed…! But I’ll spare you and just show you some of the lovely images you can also find on her website:
