About the artists

Donnal Poppe

Donnal Poppe is a sculptor and assemblage artist based in Los Angeles.

Marjorie Salvaterra

Marjorie Salvaterra is an acclaimed photographer whose black-and-white images have been lauded for their humor and solemnity. As Virginia Heckart, Associate Curator of Photography at the Getty Center, notes, Salvaterra's work captures "a fine line between sanity and insanity." Salvaterra's photography has been exhibited in venues across the world, including The California Museum of Art and Rencontres d'Arles in France. She has had solo exhibitions at Ralph Pucci Los Angeles, NYC & Miami; VanRensburg Galleries, Australia, and The Griffin Museum of Photography.
