Marisa Bazan

Artist Statement

Collage has always been about taking images or ideas with almost nothing in common and creating a story. Sometimes the stories are funny, other times they're not, but there's always something romantic about the synchronicity of two images published decades apart, working together to illustrate an idea and create a new narrative.
