Independent Artist

2021

These handmade photo collages are part of my “Architextures” series, ongoing since 2000, and they combine my lifelong involvement with both silver-based photography and collage.

The inspiration for this series is the architecture and urban landscapes of Manhattan. I also use images of nature, store window interiors, and other locales and subjects that evoke strong feelings of a time or place

These photo collages are completely handmade, from the hand-processed film and individually-printed photographs, which are meticulously cut and assembled into 2-D and 3-D geometric abstractions.

About the Artist

Adrienne Moumin is a visual artist based in Silver Spring, MD, and part-time in New York, NY. Moumin works in hand-printed B&W photography, and photo-based, hand-cut-and-assembled, and mixed-media collage. She is best known for her Architextures photo collage series, ongoing since 2000. Moumin was awarded 2021 and 2016 Artist Grants by the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County (MD), for the creation of several large-scale photo collages. Her last two solo exhibits were at Portico Gallery in Brentwood, MD (Sept. – Dec. 2020) and Hill Center Galleries in Washington, DC (Oct. – Dec. 2016). Moumin’s work is in public and private collections throughout the US and UK. She worked as part of a 3-artist team, on the recently installed “Meet Me at The Triangles” public art installation in downtown Wheaton, MD. During the past 20 years, her work has been presented in many group and solo exhibitions, including Williamsburg Art & Historical Center, NYC Urban Experience Museum, Soho20, Brooklyn Collage Collective, and Amos Eno Gallery (all New York City); American University Museum at the Katzen Art Center, University of Maryland-Stamp Gallery, Heurich Gallery, and Mexican Cultural Institute, (all Washington, DC); Robert Anderson Gallery (Denver, CO); and many others.
