Pappas Staff Writer one, Hage took three separate photographs of the ocean and imposed them onto one canvas. This one is amazing, said Sarah Farcan. The waves on each separate picture really stand out, but at the same time, the ocean looks as if it were one, she said. Konopaseks oil on canvas, Bittersweet, was a complex cut-odesign connected by black and white picture. one Each of the sections in the design held a piece to the picture. I appreciate the time put into these pieces, wrote one person in the comment book. I particularly enjoyed Departure by Craig Glidden.

Drummer Boy and Great Big Beautiful Doll are similar in their portrayal of childish dolls among the background of grass and a bright blue sky. My images begin as photographs that are taken out of their original context and manipulated on the computer, then reconfigured into a new arrangement that combines elements of old and new, Siciliano told Catalyst.
