Welcome
Cartonnage, diorama, decoupage, silhouette, and gouache; these are the classic techniques used to bench make each piece of Scanlon Apparati by Beth Scanlon.
Her work is influenced by a personal and romantic interpretation of Seventeenth Century Baroque decorations created with colored paper and canvas called Apparati. Apparati was theatrical. It's aim was to transform a very familiar space into a stage for celebration.
Here we aim to entertain with smaller Apparati. All of the materials are new, some have a storied history. The pieces derive a timeless charm through meticulous craftsmanship. The desired effect remains...theatrical, ephemeral, architectural … yet, most of our colored paper has a functional use. Welcome.
