Collage in miniature is always of interest. A gift for yourself or someone else. Every time a fire is lit, something will spark in the imagination or memory.

Read into it everything you'd like to. The artist was a Women's Studies major so it is not by chance this thread of ephemera has been pulled into the present.

A trim woman with pale white skin is pictured in black and white in a full body suit performing exercises. Her dark hair and features make it seem like she could be the iconic Audrey Hepburn. The foreground nearly outweighs the background because a long haired king in color is front and center commanding attention while a cut of unpackaged bacon is labeled with the word "TOP" in block letters.  

A soft red paper is the backdrop for this handy little artwork.

Margaret Rizzio is an assemblage artist who creates poignant and provocative works of art. Using colorful vintage ephemera, Rizzio’s background in Women’s Studies offers sharp and often witty commentary on the “perfect woman” of the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s.

Born and raised in Maine, Margaret returned to her home state after attending college in nearby Vermont. She is interested in memory and the passage of time. Each layered collage is a small world unto itself in which Rizzio curates a sense of synchrony and repetition.

Rizzio is represented by the Dowling Walsh Gallery in Rockland, Maine.
