Welcome to the world of Stepdad

A realm assembled by hand and held together with precision, obsession, and images sliced from the glossy underbelly of mid-century America.

Nothing here is accidental. Each fragment—every figure, every shadow, every smirk—has been hand-cut with intent and arranged to seduce, disturb, or quietly unravel.

This is a timeline obscured by cigarette smoke and soft lighting while drinking privilege on the rocks. Where masculinity is performed out of the issues of Playboy and plays through expensive hi-fi stereos. Where the suits are pressed. Where nostalgia wears a negligee. Where societal norms and roles are both traditional and distorted.

Stepdad Collages is a series of analog works by Marissa A. Ross, created using original mid-century magazines, scissors, and glue. Each piece is composed by hand, exploring themes of gender, nostalgia, and power through the imagery of a carefully constructed American past. Ross is a writer and artist based in Los Angeles.
