'Bridging the Landscape of the Mind' (2024)
Bridging the Landscape of the Mind, Mary Constantine, 2024, collage, 24 x 30 in. / 60.96 x 76.2 cm.
"Bridging the Landscape of the Mind" is a stunning visual composition that uses a mix of digital images and hand-placed papers to create a surreal landscape that seems to oscillate between dream and reality. This 24 x 30 inch collage is a metaphorical representation of the human psyche's complex layers, with its deep purples and fiery reds evoking deep emotional responses. Constantine’s choice of mulberry and rice papers adds a delicate texture that contrasts with the vibrant archival inks, enriching the visual depth and tactile quality of the piece.
'Emergence Of Creative Thought' (2024)
Emergence Of Creative Thought, Mary Constantine, 2024, collage, 20 x 16 in. / 50.8 x 40.64 cm.
"Emergence Of Creative Thought" is a smaller piece, measuring 20 x 16 inches, yet it packs a vibrant punch with its swirling patterns and explosive colors. Here, Constantine uses digital and collage techniques to symbolize the sudden and dynamic nature of inspiration. The blend of soft papers with the sharp clarity of printed images creates a dynamic interplay that visually represents the cognitive processes of creative thinking, making it not only a piece of art but a narrative on creativity itself.
'A Beacon Of Hope' (2023)
A Beacon Of Hope, Mary Constantine, 2023, digital print, 16 x 20 in. / 40.64 x 50.8 cm.
"A Beacon Of Hope" represents a shift towards a more minimalist approach, emphasizing the power of light and color to convey emotion and message. This 16 x 20 inch digital print uses softer, more ethereal color gradients to suggest optimism and possibility, emerging from a darker landscape. The use of archival inks on cotton rag paper ensures that each hue and gradient is preserved in its most poignant form, symbolizing hope as a constant yet subtle presence in our lives.
Mary Constantine's artworks from 2023 and 2024 reveal her masterful integration of digital and traditional media to explore profound themes. Each piece, with its unique approach to material and technique, offers a deep dive into the emotional and psychological landscapes that define the human experience. Constantine’s work is a vivid reminder of the transformative power of art in conveying complex, layered realities and emotions.
