Eleftheria Easley
Springfield, VA
Northern Virginia based collage artist, Eleftheria Easley, unlocks the beauty and potential of collected items and invites the viewer to share a connection.
Message“Suitcase” is an evocative mini collage that captures the spirit of old world travel in an era of steamer trunks and glamorous attire. An antique book cover, reminiscent of the corner of heavy-duty luggage, serves as the backdrop for a combination of decorative, vintage and antique papers that tell the tale of a long journey. The visual movement within the composition is captured by an Italian postcard embellished with an Indian bindi. A cashiers check, overseas stamp, handwritten notepaper, and map segments hint at a life of adventure. What do we carry to remind us of where we come from? What do we bring home to document who we’ve become on the journey?
