Artist Exchange, Exhibiting Artist
Mary Lamb is a collage artist and zine maker living in Charlottesville, VA.
Her work involves curation and accumulation-- the cutting and assembling of found photographs, recycled papers, ephemera, and vintage magazines to create new stories. Ideas of identity, memory, and manipulation emerge as she navigates the conversation between source material, context, and her own perspective as a queer woman looking to make room for queer histories, real or imagined.
She also assembles COMMON SOURCE, a monthly collage zine for visual artists, and is slowly building & cataloging what she hopes will one day become a community zine library.
