Oct 15, 2012 • The time has finally arrived to unveil the finished artworks for To The Power Of N: When N Equals 12. I think what I enjoy most about this project is that we all get to see, right out in the open, the way each artist approaches the necessary ‘problem solving’ required to interpret a set...

Oct 15, 2012 • Elena Mary Siff (U.S.A) Remind You Of Something “I love a challenge and this was an excellent one. I was on the hunt for tiny details (as my practice often involves creating unique small scale books) and so with the diverse imagery I was sent I mined each sheet for miniature details which I incorporated...

Oct 15, 2012 • Jeff Roberts (U.S.A.) The original spark between artist, art, and audience is as whimsical and unpredictable as it is between humans. Who knows why we are initially attracted to a piece of art. As with people, the first reaction is usually to some physical feature: form, color, or subject meeting some pre-programmed aesthetic criteria. Something...

Oct 15, 2012 • Cory Peeke (U.S.A) The materials that were sent to the artists in this year’s To the Power of N project were almost uniformly contemporary printed matter. As a collage artist who generally works with vintage items and imagery, these materials came as a bit of a shock and presented me with an unanticipated challenge. In...

Oct 15, 2012 • Katerina Papazissi (Greece) In my work, I use mostly my own images, or other images that have nonetheless been carefully selected. Therefore, it was an interesting and inspiring process, creating a collage with elements that I would never have chosen myself. I created my piece not knowing where it would lead me. The meaning emerged...

Oct 15, 2012 • Allegra Newman (U.S.A) Intrigued by all the smaller elements which make up the whole of what we typically see and appreciate in a photo, landscape, or everyday life, I like challenging myself to deconstruct the pictures and piece them back together in ways which emphasize and reflect on their movements, textures, colors, and expressions. This...

Oct 15, 2012 • Jo Murray (Australia) Metamorphosis To me constructing collages is a way of telling a story. Whether it is sad or funny. Meaningful or whimsical, the story reveals itself when I am moving the pieces of paper around in their various combinations. Usually two or three pieces, grouped together, will speak to me and from there...

Oct 15, 2012 • Teri Dryden (U.S.A.) I’ll Take You There I strive to create rich, detailed surfaces to beckon the viewer to look closer and deeper and to revel in more subtle dimensions beneath. My collages are abstract yet familiar – even comforting – constructed as they are of common materials that resonate and evoke shared memories, stirring...

Oct 15, 2012 • Matt Bailey (U.S.A.) I work in a library full of books, but spend all day in front of a computer. Collage allows me to get away from the computer and work with simple materials and tools: paper, metal blades, and glue. My visual obsessions are similarly simple: geometric shapes, bright colors, the male body, and...
