After the success of To The Power Of N in 2011, the project is back again this year, and this time I am looking for 12 artists working in collage to participate.

A few days ago, I started a new piece and thought I would post some photos on my website of the work in progress.

I have attached one below, but you can see the rest of them and a bit of a description of what is going on HERE.

Let me know what you think!…

It's great to see all the activity on the site! We've recently had a tremendous number of new images uploaded so we're proposing some guidelines, because this is a group site for the global collage community with fairly limited resources... 

Please put a representative number of your works on the site and then, for vast numbers of images, put them on flickr or other image archive. You can then link to the flickr site for the rest of the images on your profile page or even on the…

It is almost time to get the ball rolling on the 2012 To The Power Of N project and exhibition, but before we do, I thought it would be a good idea to revist the excellent work put together by our group of artists for the 2011 exhibition.

Cecil posted this link to an interview with collage artist Matthew Rose on the collage e-mail list and thought it was OK to cross-post it here.

In the interview Rose says some very interesting things about his work, his career and about working everyday.

Last weekend I took the opportunity to go to the Musee Rodin to see the exhibition Capturing the Model, Rodin, 300 Drawings from 1890 to 1917.  I was surprised to see one section of the show dedicated to “Cutting Out and Assembling.”
