Artist: Joyce Neimanas
Date: 1982
Title: Alice In WonderlandJoyce Neimanas's Polaroid collages are really chaotic and amazing to me. You have to actually look closely to see what is going on in the images, but you can tell right away what is in the photos right away. There is a baby sitting in the left with a man lying down on the right and also a woman's feet on the top of the image in high-heels. I really like the quality of the Polaroid's colors and how some images are really clear and some are a bit of a blur which brings out the subject of the composition. Overall collages from Neimanas really catches my eye and the quality and quantity of the photos used.
I love Joyce's work, too. I like the idea of absence of the boarder.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think the figure on the right is a adolescent girl - she's got her hand on her crotch.
ReplyDeleteI really love the shifting in space in this work - each frame is pulled and smashed together when the perspective moves. And it really reads like a storybook to me - the pop-up book in the image is pretty interesting detail - something about women and sexuality maybe.
Thanks!!
