Marika McCoola IL’09 has work selected for CMYK Magazine #45, due to hit newsstands in October 2009. Illustrator Victor Juhasz was the judge who chose her work, a piece she made for Whitney Sherman’s section of Sr Thesis. Marika explains her process as ”Sculptural elements were made from Sculpey®, fabric, wire, paint, cardboard and found objects. A series of photographs were then taken and altered slightly in Photoshop.” You can see her work at www.marikamccoola.com or contact her at Marika McCoola, 37 Cunningham Ave., Glens Falls, NY 12801
