FROM THE CURRENT ISSUE
Working Deep
Many collage artists work flat and the fragments present themselves arranged on a plane; the occasional overlapping of paper may suggest depth or may simply edit the fragment being covered. Maddy works deep. A native of Massachusetts, Keith Maddy works out of the historic Fenway Studios in Boston. He writes, "My collages are complex exercises in precision, detail, composition, colour, movement and a sense of joy and playfulness." A portfolio of Maddy’s work appears in Kolaj #17. MORE

Carol White
Cork, Ireland
"A pile of paper off-cuts, magazine pages, tissues, acetate and time-honoured images is intriguing. I spent much of my childhood in museums and have taught art history. The faces of individuals from Caravaggio, Van Der Weyden, Durer to Rembrandt have universal appeal and are used in many of my collages as timeless people in flux. Fleeing, travelling, settling in new and off-putting places, give surreal qualities to the arrangements. Looking into the unknown, the ephemeral void, even tomorrow is alluring." MORE

KOLAJ #17
"One of the things that makes collage, as practiced today, uniquely modernist is the fact that a collage always references itself….The modernist painter used bad brush strokes, a poorly drawn faces, and awkward trees to remind the viewer that they are looking at a painting, to ask the viewer to contemplate the artifice of the discipline, of the medium, and to delve into the ideas, feelings, and experience behind it….By its nature, collage has always done this."
