Ann Lasusa’s art—paintings, mixed media, collage—is well known both at Kendal and beyond. We spotlight here her delightful assemblage work. On her website—lasusart.com—she says, “Using found objects that have been discarded or are no longer useful can be given new life and can be metaphors for a lifetime. I assemble objects in boxes that tell my story, deliver my sense of visual order or are remembrances of life experiences and sensations. I use found objects paint, glue. modeling paste, paper, wood, plant life etc. etc. to compose a new order and accomplish my goal.”
We include a few pictures of Ann’s assemblages here, including the one in the Winter Art Show, now hanging in Robert Fulton. They are entrancing, distinctive, thoughtful, often designed with humor—and, overall, delightful.
