i’m jealous of adrienne slane
So, you all know how I feel about found image collage, right? If you’re unsure… I love it. LOVE IT! And the work of American artist Adrienne Slane is no exception – imagine how excited I was when these lovely little snipped n’ glued beauties arrived in my inbox?! Sigh. They make me want to flip through a whole stack of natural history journals… with my scissors.
Love it! especially the last one…
I get it : Jealous Big Time !!!
This is gorgeous work.
These collage pieces of Adrienne Slane must take hours and hours to produce and require a heck of a lot of fine-motor skill and patience! They are not just visually stunning, they produce this nostalgic desire in me for all things Victorian and also evoke a sense of reverence in me. Yet, there is a small element of the morbid which adds an interesting, unsettling feeling. The best art is that which produces a vivid response, like these works. The more I look, the more I see, almost as if there are images hidden in plain sight through the intricate patterns. I haven’t seen anything else like this.
