Book Collages that Tell the Story
Oklahoma-based artist Kelly Campbell Berry layers illustrations with snippets of text from the story to create a visual representation of the book.
Berry:
"I am truly amazed at the ability some people have to arrange words in such a way that we, the readers, can actually ‘see’ into the imagined world of the writer. We relate, feel, and become invested in the characters so deeply that we are pulled into their world for a brief moment of escape. My book sculptures are my way of showing what the words on the pages create in the imagination of the readers."
Currency Collage: $1 Bill
Mark Wagner makes these stunning collages out of $1 bills. Be sure and check out his mega-collage called Liberty.
From the Artist Statement:
The one dollar bill is the most ubiquitous piece of paper in America. Collage asks the question: what might be done to make it something else? It is a ripe material: intaglio printed on sturdy linen stock, covered in decorative filigree, and steeped in symbolism and concept. Blade and glue transform it-reproducing the effects of tapestries, paints, engravings, mosaics, and computers—striving for something bizarre, beautiful, or unbelievable... the foreign in the familiar.
