Mollie McNeil<\/span>
Artist Statement<\/p>\n

Combining an eclectic mix of archival and ordinary materials with a careful, architectural style, Mollie McNeil creates narratives and playful juxtapositions in her collage series, “Graphic Dreams.” French etchings, antique book jackets, vintage postcards, and 19th century Italian calligraphy add up to romance in McNeil’s storytelling mind. Contemporary Greek poster scraps, 1960’s paperback covers and sculptures from antiquity all make the same suggestions. In the spirit of Kurt Schwitters and William Dole, McNeil makes harmonious designs from unlikely sources. McNeil draws on her training in graphic design, art history, and literary studies for inspiration. Her artistic process includes scavenging flea markets, antique bookstores and gutters when she travels.<\/span> <\/div>\n
