About the Item
This work features hues of green, yellow, blue and red.
Columbia, South Carolina-based artist, Susan Lenz uses needle and thread for self-expression. Her ongoing series Found Object Mandalas speaks to the universal desire for a place of belonging and a sense of home. Working in partnership with her materials, Susan strives to articulate the accumulated memory inherent in discarded things. Her work speaks to morality and the desire for a lasting legacy. She uses multiples of seemingly mundane items to put into perspective the abundance of life and the capacity to keep things as if for a “rainy day.” Paper clips, keys, bottle caps, buttons, nails, plastic spoons, and old clock parts are combined with dominoes, film reels, old toys, and holiday decorations. These and so many other, often vintage items, are repetitively hand-stitched into meditative patterns on sections of old quilts, bringing an extraordinary new life to otherwise everyday things. Susan has a BA in Medieval and Renaissance Studies from Ohio State University.

- "Take Your Pleasure Seriously" - Mixed Media Textured Collage PaintingBy Cabell MolinaLocated in West Hollywood, CAThis 36 inch square original mixed media painting on canvas is wired and ready to hang. Layers of patterned collage elements and acrylic paint bring this artwork to life. The layering and unique texture of colorful clippings and geometrical designs create a window looking into a luxurious escape perfect for any home or office. The sides of the artwork are painted and it does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back of the artwork. Molina's work is influenced by her prior career as an advertising art director–but now her goal now is to sell perspective rather than product. In this series, Cabell reclaims classic femininity as multi-faceted, giving voice and texture to lost imagery. Her art pushes for colorful expansion of a “woman’s place” while it explores the complex dynamic of a woman’s emotions, celebrating the bygone glamour of mid-century fashion and deconstructing its patriarchal underpinnings. Cabell’s painting/collages read as meditations on the female experience and the pursuit for sovereignty in a historically male dominated culture. She studied graphic design, and fine art at San Diego State University and Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in NYT The Cut, CNN Style, and Vogue, as well as shown in multinational galleries and can be found in private collections around the world.
