ON THE COVER

The Trojan Horse
Mixed media on canvas, 48" x 48"
by Comusina Celan

By the time you read this, the painter Comusina Celan will no longer be calling New Orleans home. In early June she relocates to Baltimore, to start the newest chapter in a life lived largely on the move. Having lived in Germany, Costa Rica, and various U.S. cities, Celan developed an interest in the nature of our relationships to place, home and the people we associate with them. Her works explore our notions of place through retellings of the narratives found in fables and folktales. To tell her stories, Celan draws on imagery from around the world, and incorporates paint, recycled paper, cloth, maps—anything that she finds interesting. See more works at
