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.
