Molly Catherine Scannell

 
 

Molly Scannell is an American collagist who manipulates images to expand the original story to see what it can become and how it can evolve.

She creates her work both digitally and with tactile media such as keys, clicks, scissors and glue, often distorting or erasing faces. She replaces identity with landscapes, colour and shape which allows viewers to bring their own impressions into their interpretation.

“I crave the tactile and evolve with a mechanical pencil, Moleskine and hand-made executions. The permanence of analogue affords success and failure. There is learning in both, and handmade means there is proof. That’s as real as it gets.”

From her home in Arlington, Massachusetts USA, Molly loves to create and collaborate on all kinds of projects. Finding realism riddled with anxiety-induced pressure, she finds her passion in collage.
