- 12. Assemblage by Lori Vrba My recent foray into the assemblage work feels like an organic extension and progression of my photography. My imagery has a strong narrative component as does each assemblage piece. I am a life long collector of curious oddities and I love transforming space, whether it be for an exhibition or my home. The photographs are often finished in encaustic for both the aesthetic and archival properties. Bringing these elements together is just another way for me to tell a story. My own.
