"In Peace #3" is part of Ciccoricco's Three-Piece Series "In Peace." Ciccoricco takes a black and white found image of an overgrown abandoned field and brings life back into it with her masterful embroidery. She creates a new perspective on this cold, uninviting image and welcomes the viewer in. The image size is 10x8 and is framed in a 15.5x12. Please message us for additional images and videos of the work, or follow our storefront to see more work by Natalie. From the artist: "My mixed media collages are all original, analog works that consist of found paper, photographs, and embroidery thread, which I use to weave together new narratives on paper. My illustrations are personal snapshots of things I’ve seen. I love to experiment with different materials and re-use old images and paper. In doing so, I hope to bring new life to these materials so that they can be enjoyed and appreciated once again. For my artworks, I draw inspiration from my dreams, nature, arts, literature, and my travels." Natalie Ciccoricco...

This piece titled "Complete Me: Forrest" is an original artwork made from collage, hand embroidery, and latex paint on canvas by Kelly Kozma. This piece is shipped in the pictured black frame and measures 13.25"h x 18.25"w framed. The catalyst for this new body of work was a jar of leftover magazine cutouts from a collage I made in 2010. Reusing leftover materials as well repurposing items that might end up thrown away, has become a very important part of my process the past decade. Stumbling across this jar of coin sized images that had waited patiently on a shelf for 12 years, ignited my creative process and drove me to explore collage in a new way. Unlike the piece from 2010 in which I assembled the images by piecing them together, I decided to examine each individual cut out on its on. By removing the image from any other context it allows you to focus solely on its meaning, purpose or feelings that it may evoke. Each image is embedded in a field of French knots which felt like a way of creating a time capsule of sorts for the object. Another inspiration behind this collection is my six year old son and his endless piles of sticks, stones, leaves, etc in our home. Only to him they aren’t sticks and stones, they are treasures. His ability to find a tiny twig or scrap of paper and not only cherish it but give it a backstory of why it is so special, is a beautiful thing and one I have tried to tap into with my new work. By placing a picture of a rubberband ball or a set of Dracula teeth or a banana in this embroidered box...
