12. Assemblage by Lori Vrba
My recent foray into the
assemblage work feels like
an organic extension and
progression of my
photography. My imagery
has a strong narrative
component as does each
assemblage piece. I am a
life long collector of
curious oddities and I love
transforming
space, whether it be for
an exhibition or my home.
The photographs are often
finished in encaustic for
both the aesthetic and
archival properties.
Bringing these elements
together is just another
way for me to tell a story.
My own.
