Triptych: Three Collaged Heads

Time Warp

Musings

Fractured Mannequin Head




A multidisciplinary artist, Marilyn Stablein works in poetry, prose, collage, assemblage, photography, artist books, and performance art to explore visual narrative, memoir, and the environment. Her work appears in journals, books, special collection libraries and in private and public collections. The Company of Crows, an international collaboration with master linocut artist Dmitry Sayenko, was recently published by Book Arts Editions, Portland.

She writes: "Triptych: Three Collaged Heads includes three new works, “Time Warp,” “Musings” and “Fractured Mannequin Head” which are part of an ongoing series of collage, assemblage and sculptural artworks that repurpose and alter dolls, vintage artist and dressmaker’s mannequins, hands, feet, torsos and other body parts. Recycled Materials include: found wood boxes, doll suitcase, store mannequin heads, vintage papers, dominos, dice, foreign money, shredded dollar bills, mini Thai box pieces, and painted wood mini houses.

"I rescued the painted plaster female mannequin head where it languished for decades in a debris pile in the basement of the old London’s Department Store in Kingston, New York, where I once had my art studio. Upstairs my husband and I ran The Uptown jazz club twenty years ago."
