This show was extraordinary. The range of work was impressive, really
showcasing the diversity of collage as a medium. The layout was well thought
out, creating interesting connections and dialogue between pieces that would
not normally occur. It was overall a very enjoyable show.
Judges Individual Comments
1st-Laura Lein Svencner
Paths on This Good Earth
Very successful composition and masterful use of technique and layers. There
was sort of an odd playful whimsy to the piece that I loved. I was drawn to it
and came back to it several times, each time finding something new and exciting
in the piece.
2nd-Jerri Reiman
Tipping Point
Simple but powerful. Subject matter provokes emotion and viewer can
relate or sympathize. Wonderful attention to detail in the laying in regards to
the direction of the lines of text and the overlapping of edges. This helped
add both literal and metaphorical depth and weight to the imagery.
2nd-Pamela Peterson
De La Terre A La Lune
Very beautiful, there was such depth and soul to this piece. The imagery
of light penetrating dark is powerful and here it was handled with such subtle
delicacy. Smart use of texture and text/illustrative elements to enhance the
composition.
3rd-Barb Pompei Boland
Searching
I loved this piece! This little piece packed so much punch. It had a
very appealing composition with a wonderful upbeat color palette which drew you
in, then up close you could really see the depth to the layers. A very successful marriage of collage and
abstraction and a smart use of map and text imagery to reinforce this idea of
"searching".
3rd-Joan Lucht
Below the Surface
Love this approach to this piece and the fun mix of media.
3rd-Margi Hafer
Thank You Marcel
Well constructed, a fun homage to Marcel Duchamp. Especially enjoyed
the small book of art that allowed viewers to interact with the piece. Each
small work in the book was a successful piece in of itself which was
impressive.

In Memory
This piece had a sort of eerie or ghostly feeling which I was
fascinated by. The implication of layers
in the composition was clever, the way the components of this composition
overlap and connect. I enjoyed the relationship between the geometric and
organic shapes, the way the organic component sort flowed throughout the piece,
often appearing to be squeezed or forced by the geometric shapes.
HM-Rachelle Hickey
In Transition: Unfolding
Innovative and progressive use of collage. Imagery is powerful, evoking
a lot of emotions and preconceived ideas of meaning.
HM-Nancy Staszak
Speak To Me
Beautifully constructed composition with depth and meaning.
HM Carol Kazwik
Traveling 3: Bee Messages
Fun mix of styles and inferred nostalgia.
