Award Winners Art2010:
15th annual juried show at the Harlow Gallery

Winner 2nd place, $250 cash prize sponsored by DownEast Energy Building Supply
Martha Briana of Northport for her collage “The Venus of Italian Museum Art”

“The layering of imagery in this collage is a treat to explore. The piece is successful as a study of the human form, and the added detail within the image from the collage construction make it well worthy of prolonged study. From a distance the piece appears as an ink wash or drawing, this subtlety of light and shadow in a collage is quite remarkable.” — Robert Lash & Kerstin Gilg
