Artist Adrienne Moumin opens up her New York studio to the public, for the first time in over a decade.

Photographer and collage artist
Adrienne Moumin will be opening her Manhattan studio to the public, on Saturday and Sunday, November 5 and 6, 2011, from 12-5PM both days.  
Moumin will be showing works from her “Architextures” series of hand-cut-and-assembled gelatin silver
photo collages.  The event will signal Moumin’s
return to New York after a ten-year absence.  The studio is located at 240 East 55th
Street, #8A, New York, NY 10022. 
Moumin’s studio is also open by appointment.

Moumin’s hand-cut-and-assembled gelatin silver
photo collages reflect her fascination with architectural landmarks and
landscapes.  While at first the works may
appear to be digital montages, closer inspection reveals the texture and
layering inherent in the handmade pieces. 
Moumin hand-prints multiples of each photograph in a traditional wet
darkroom, then cuts and rearranges pieces of the paper prints. 
Each collage represents a reframed impression
of an architectural landmark or landscape as Moumin experiences it.
She has been working in this vein since 2003, and
has expanded her repertoire to include application of glass and crystal
elements, complicated layering, using the paper’s natural curves for 3-D
effects, and use of inkjet prints.
