Dee Dee Does Utopia
By Deborah Faye Lawrence, published by Marquand Books, Seattle, Washington. What does utopia look like to you? In 2005, Seattle artist Deborah Faye Lawrence conducted an e-mail survey to find out. From hundreds of queries, she received 15,000 words in response, which she visually illuminated in mixed-media collages that depict twenty-six versions of utopia. This volume brings elements from Lawrence’s survey together with other historical and literary utopian models. The imagery links many notions of idealized environments—from the natural to the fabricated—layered in surprising formations and integrated with text, evoking medieval illuminated manuscripts. MORE

Collage Paintings
By Suzanne Sbarge. Sbarge merges collage and painting, with the collage compositions leading the narratives and the paint creating the environments where mysterious stories unfold. Inspired by her 2017 solo exhibition, this 10"x8" softcover catalog features 46 full-colour reproductions and two essays. Curator Mary Anne Redding offers a poetic meditation on the artist’s work, emphasizing the roles of nature, dreams, music and mystery. And journalist Jennifer Levin delves into the narrative aspect of the work, family history, humour, and the artist’s focus on the interconnectivity between humans and animals. MORE

Morgantown Collage Collective
West Virginia is getting a collage collective. The effort is being spearheaded by collagist Nikola Janevski. "As I returned to Morgantown, still under the heavy influence of the creative energy from Kolaj Fest New Orleans, I wanted the feeling to continue," writes Janevski. "The sense of belonging, community, and creativity that I experienced at Kolaj Fest is hard to describe." MORE

Strange Diary, or How to Make a Collage
By Amy Tingle. "This work is a strange diary of sorts, an incubator for my thoughts and my exponentially increasing hope that I will be heard and that my voice will make a difference to someone who finds my art. My work is a form of therapy and self-investigation, a window into my ever-evolving identity. To me, the act of tearing apart images and reassembling them in a new and personal way echoes the way we are capable of taking risks and reassembling our lives at any given point, and listening to whatever it is inside of us that is longing for change and for deep internal and external acceptance."
