Since moving back to Austin from Arizona, Landry McMeans has set up an art studio in the Mosaic Sound Collective and expanded her palette into ever-bigger pieces. Her cardboard reliefs exhume the brilliant details of natural landscapes and animals, with her new 3D triptychs striking vivid from afar and stunning up-close. Although technically not recycled (she sources her special heavy-duty cardboard from a factory in California), McMeans’ masterful textures are currently on display at South Congress’ musician-focused Yard Dog Art Gallery.
