about

Mary Lamb is a collage artist and zine maker based in Charlottesville, VA. Her work is informed by her training as an archivist and incorporates found objects, lost photographs, feminine motifs, and the natural textures of paper ephemera. Her cut and pasted collages dissect historical images of women to create imagined queer stories and sapphic fantasies.

 

Every month she assembles COMMON SOURCE, a curated collage zine for visual artists.
