Collage offers artists a means to express themselves in multiple mediums. Some
artist’s use their artwork to make statements or send a message to those who
view their work.

Through collage I have been able to express my vision of a novel I hold dear to my
heart “Awaken – The Healing of Virtue”.

This is no ordinary book. It has elements of Action and Adventure, Science
Fiction, Fantasy, and Romance. The concept stems from my desire to empower
women, try to change the perception of how women are perceived and valued,
bring attention to a struggling city in rural Pennsylvania and its schools, hopefully
increase tourism, and allow me to give back to my community.

Short Forward

An unknown world has revealed itself to Cayenne Ashley, a beautiful twenty-
three year old graduate student. She is about to emerge into it. But, before she
opens her eyes to see its true wonder, she thinks to herself; “Who would believe
what I am about to witness?” More importantly, after seeing and understanding
this new world; “Who would follow me on this journey?”

Collage has always been of interest to me since I first saw Picasso’s works when I was in Art School. The simplicity of shapes, combined with simple line, got to the essence of a subject in a way realist painting can’t.
Since then, as I’ve progressed through various media in my own art journey, this notion has become more embedded in my way of thinking. 

While it may be regarded as ‘contemporary’, collage is really not so modern. It has been around in some form since the invention of paper. Making it ‘modern’ though is the incorporation of contemporary materials such as plastic, or acrylics, and components of our high tech age.
To be able to add such personal things as the ephemera of daily life, tickets, old rusty stuff, bits of previous paintings, gives truth to the work and adds a real connection to the artist. In this way collage will continue to have its place in modern art.

Statement for Collage/Assemblage Centennial 1912-2012

I consider collage to be a fascinating and intriguing art form. The process of collage
involves an intimate and hands-on involvement with the medium and thus gives it a very
tactile feel. I particularly enjoy layering and piecing together of various materials to bring
an idea and concept alive giving it incredible charm and vitality.

In contemporary art Collage is a popular and highly valued art form. The artist possesses
the freedom to manipulate the medium in a variety of manners with out feeling restricted
into certain structured rules that other mediums may demand. The Art form is flexible
and varied because there is such a variety and wide range of collage materials that exist.
It is also a wonderful and versatile medium used by both beginning and experienced
artists alike and I particularly enjoy it because of its never ending possibilities for
exploration and experimentation.
