An artist can anticipate nothing more gratifying than to form a sincere connection to another \u2014 someone who will discover satisfaction or meaning in one\u2019s creation. As many collage practitioners already know, it is not a frequent experience for those of us who cannot bring ourselves to pander. It is more irregular to find a buyer who wants to live with an artwork. And beyond the satisfaction of a sale, there are those uncommon times when a corresponding creative act takes place in response, and one is the recipient of a profound kindness.<\/p>\n

An Art Form Called Collage<\/em><\/strong>
\nby Patty Seitz<\/em><\/p>\n

\nImages placed upon a blank paper just so
\nOr perhaps they were just placed
\nWith no particular pattern in mind
\nThe story emerging on its own
\nDeveloping as each image is carefully cut
\nThen positioned by the artist
\nBy themselves they speak one message
\nPlaced together they speak another
\nThe dictionary says these are
\n\u201cVarious materials not normally associated with one another\u201d
\nBut when we see them together
\nTheir association seems to have existed for a life time
\nAnd they bond as if they will never be apart again
\nTogether they speak one language
\nUsing each individual voice to create a harmony
\nThat is most pleasing to the eye<\/p>\n
