Using small pieces of broken glass, newspaper clippings, found objects and other detritus, Mary Tapogna creates densely patterned portraits that, from a distance, resemble textile or photographic weavings. But Tapogna is making more than spellbinding images out of exotic materials. The artist, who worked as a photojournalist for national magazines and newspapers like Spin, Rolling Stone, Glamour, Knight -- Ridder Tribune News Service and The Oregonian, offers a subtly stinging commentary on the emphasis of celebrity and fame in today's bottom -- line motivated media.
