‘Metaphorical women’

“In Concert” (archival pigment print), by Wendy Seller, in her show "Hybridized Worlds,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, through Dec. 1.

The gallery says:

“Wendy Seller’s practice explores the fusion of traditional painting techniques and digital image-building. Seller’s embrace of these polar-opposite art making approaches enables her to create intangible, hybridized worlds that integrate past and present, populated by magical figures and surreal landscapes….

“In ‘Hybridized Worlds,’ Seller uses collected imagery to create metaphorical women who emit internal power, fortitude, assertiveness, and wit. Seller sees her collages as decisively positive as she observe changes within society concerning women’s lives.’’
