An increasingly engaging form of collaboration in collage is the coming together of a diverse group to explore the shared concept. In my last post we looked at an example in which the participants artistically exploited an image or thematic suggestion. Today we feature a remarkable project launched by L T Holmes that makes use of nearly identical vintage paper targets she has magnanimously provided to those taking part. Anyone reading this is urged to investigate her recent blog entry<\/a> that offers an affecting backstory for the \u201cTarget Practice<\/a>\u201d initiative.<\/p>\n

As this outstanding series takes shape, I cannot help but think of the Merz painting, \u201cHitler Gang<\/a>,\u201d and how KS (as usual) was just a bit ahead of us. If he thought a target was a cool collage ingredient nearly 70 years ago, I am, for one, quite content to continue digging the ground he broke. At least we are not fearing for our personal safety<\/a>, thank heaven.
