    December 30, 2014

    Collaging used to be the stuff of childhood classrooms, where the act of cutting and pasting, construction and deconstruction, created intriguing, sometimes nonsensical, new pieces of art. Artist Eugenia Loli takes collaging to a whole new level, however. She used to work in the technology industry, and left that to focus on her art. Some […]
