FROM KOLAJ #19
Grassroots Discourse
Etty Yaniv writes in Kolaj #19, "The rules of the Brooklyn Collage Collective are pretty hardcore. To start with, member initiation involves putting together a collage using a hundred clippings in three minutes, while hanging upside down blindfolded."

Otherwise
Marsha Balian & Sherry Parker at GearBox Gallery in Oakland, California though 27 July 2017.

A lover of photography and graphic design, I try to unite these as a form of expression." MORE

Framing the Debris
Kevin Sampsell offers a profile of Luke Dolkas in the current issue of Kolaj Magazine, in which he explains how "the revelation of doing collage art came in the form of a camel." The profile traces the artist’s journey and explores his love of old paper and how he "can make a collage out of twenty pieces of white paper." MORE
