Paola Pastore: Transparency, Shadow, & Reverse Collage July 14, 2007

Reception Saturday July 14th , 2007, 3-5pm,
Exhibit through August 18th

Paola Pastore is originally from Rome, Italy and she has lived across three continents. She spent the last 16 years in Michigan where she earned a BFA from Western Michigan University and pursued art as a designer and fine artist. Her work has been exhibited at Western Michigan University, The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, and the Kingscott Gallery.

Shadow, transparency, and reverse collage combine in these small pieces, which are cut into watercolor paper to form subtle lines illuminated by the natural light filtered through translucent colored papers. It is an intimate series based on the human experience, the images evolving from the figure into abstraction.
