"June gloom" has no meaning for our June artist, Wendy Brown, who will host an opening reception for her colorful "Collage as Life" exhibition June 5, 5-7PM in the library meeting room for First Friday Art Walk.
Collage: a kind of surrealist art in which bits of flat objects such as newspapers, bits of cloth, pressed flowers, etc.are pasted together in incongruous relationships for their symbolic or suggested effect. (Oxford English)
From Wendy: "Just as memories are made up of disparate pieces, my collages reflect items close to the heart...photos, mementos, a cherished piece of ribbon, an old postcard, a button or bead in the hopes of resonating with a pleasant memory, a dear friend or relative or a significant event by the viewer. Happy to do commissions centered on an item close to your heart...perfect for birthdays, anniversaries or YOU!"
