About the Book
A wry look at pop culture and femininity through decades of collected ephemera, embellished and combined into unique mixed media paintings. Tuchman layers images and patterning with obsessive delight in the small moments while telling bigger stories we understand all too well.

About the Creator
ELLEN FRANCES TUCHMAN
Dallas, Texas
As a child, I deeply loved the Ice Capades and circus costumes – spectacle, color, general exuberance, a joy of surface. I am haunted by the mirrored house I saw at LACMA and Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” ride, with its screwy-colored flora. The counterpoints of paint/beads, digital imagery/hand-sewn embellishment exist in my carefully constructed narratives. A wealth of fanciful materials continues to serve as my palette; nostalgia becomes a vehicle for marking time, with painstaking and obsessively crafted moments showing a portal to our romanticized past.
