\u201cTwo halves don’t make a whole. Two wholes make a whole.\u201d

Although I was not able to insert Kolaj Fest<\/em><\/strong><\/a> into my summer plans, I\u2019m commiserating with the many collage artists who had their expectations disrupted by tropical storm Barry, including \u201cvirtual friends,\u201d Allan Bealy, Janice McDonald, and Andrea Burgay. <\/a><\/p>\n

As I think about them and the truncated event in New Orleans, it occurs to me that I never posted images of my 2018 collaboration with Bealy, when I joyfully participated in his HALVES project.<\/p>\n

Leave it to Allan to explore yet another type of creative joint venture with a diverse group<\/a> of partners. I knew from our previous collaboration that we could use the other\u2019s stimuli to great benefit. After I received Allan\u2019s starts, I waited until I\u2019d sent him mine (this one with an Abyssinian cavy<\/a>, and this one with roasting pans<\/a>) before I finished my half of each lively \u201cconversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like many of you, I\u2019m astute enough to recognize that this guy is not only one of the most prolific and fluent practitioners within our medium, but also that he has continued to help shape the meaning of contemporary collage collaboration for our generation.<\/a> I hope you\u2019ll find these particular juxtapositions intriguing, and I look ahead with anticipation to seeing what he might do with the numerous artifacts that were generated by his stimulating concept.
