Lost And Found: The Art of Collage

Randel Plowman, curator of the book Masters: Collage, organized a corresponding gallery show at the Northern Kentucky University’s gallery.  Each artist featured in the book was invited to participate in this exhibition, and I’ll be showing four pieces.  I’m sad that I can’t be in attendance, but Randel say’s he’ll get pictures of the event.  I’ll post them up soon!  If you’re in the area make sure you get by to see this incredible variety of work by contemporary collage artists.

New Gifs!

I’ve been cutting out lots of tiny little people for my newest series.  The other day I poured them all out on the table to show Robert what I’d done with my afternoon.  He immediately picked up a camera and started shooting pictures.  We took turns snapping photos and playing god of small things.  I made a few animated gifs from our shoot.  Good times!

Around The Sun Book

I’ve been making lots of collaborative books lately, but here’s one I made all for myself.

Masters Collage

Masters Collage

I just got my comp copy of Masters: Collage!  The book covers collage work of all types, and I’m beyond honored to be included.  It’s available for pre-order at Amazon and will be in your local Barnes & Noble by June.  I borrowed this write-up about the book:

Versatility, innovation, inspiration—that’s what The Masters series offers artists and crafters, and this superb new collection offers a stunning look at contemporary collage work from approximately 40 leading artists. It features a breathtaking mix of techniques from traditional cut-and-paste to digital to collage with paint or encaustic, and styles ranging from wildly playful and colorful to evocative, almost monochrome images.

Each highlighted master takes center stage in an informative eight-page feature that includes nearly a dozen gorgeous, high-quality photos plus a short essay by curator Randel Plowman placing the impressive work and its creator in context.

A huge thank you to all the folks at Lark Books, as well as the curator, Randel Plowman.  I am also thrilled to be in the company of Stephanie Levy, a great artist who has always been very friendly and encouraging to me.
