“Little Fires Everywhere” (*with apologies to Celeste Ng)

A VERITABLE ERUPTION OF PLAYGROUND PANDEMONIUM!

14 in. x 11 in. mixed media collage, primarily sourced from a recently unearthed preschool textbook entitled ABC Social Studies Series: “Our Neighborhood” (1961) by Professors Dorothy M. Fraser & Harry E. Hoy, with hombre spray paint over mounted black canvas and acrylic black latex paint for smoke detailing, then sealed with glossy Mod Podge + patterned pink washi tape sides
Enjoy this wild rumpus 
of precocious pyros and displaced spirits 
as we approach Halloween...

“Lady Marmalade: Temptress From Tampa”

SHE'S GOT SOLAR FLAIR!
Third in a series (see last two slides for the others, property of my dear friend Emma Carbo, from March of 2022 titled "High on the Hog" and "The Gammon Gamine:  Fallen in Pollen, the Rasher Will Catch Her")

12 in. x 9 in. surreal colllage/sequin art on an upside down page from 1965's "Science For The Here and Now: Third Edition" with sparkle washi tape edging, yellow acrylic paint highlights + spray dotting, and L’Oreal True Match Glotion luminescent makeup skin highlighter in “Fair Glow” (shade no. 901), plus the requisite Mod Podge sealant glue

We can see the roundness of the sun."
