"Impasto" Assemblage

Fashioned out of papier-mâché, found objects, fabrics, and delicately placed inside an old cigar box, "Impasto" is an original assemblage by Virginia McCracken. Each piece, and its corresponding title, tells a story through its intricate detail and sense of whimsy. See all of Virginia's work here. See all of Virginia's work here.

Metal hook for hanging

Handmade in Santa Barbara, CA.

Virginia McCracken, captivated by the intricacy, mystery, and charm inherent in small objects in nature and human-made images, draws inspiration from a childhood steeped in make-believe; her artistic endeavors involve painting small still life pieces and crafting assemblage/dioramas featuring papier mache figures, often blending both mediums to create imaginative worlds.
