\nFROM KOLAJ #24<\/p>\n

Vancouver artist Marcia Pitch\u2019s Four Hundred Collaged Faces on Round Wooden Disks<\/h2>\n

Vancouver artist Marcia Pitch works from a realm of the grotesque. Through her collages and a process based in materiality, Pitch creates a world of disquieting anomalies: animalistic personae populate the walls and question the identity that we present to the world around us. In Kolaj<\/em> #24, Maeve Hanna writes, “Mouths yawn forth from stomachs and necks; ears become hairy eyes and long tubes create elongated noses; eyes cry tears of gasoline and, on a weathered face, a dissected toy ball creates hoods for the eyes like upside down sunglasses or makeshift mini umbrellas.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The pieces commingle on the wall in a cornucopia of the bizarre. Ranging in size, the collages come together as one singular installation that creates the ideal circumstances for a critique on society.<\/em><\/h2>\n
