Tina Gilmore, whose assemblage was featured in Cloth Paper Scissors, used art to channel a stressful time into something positive.
Students will be able to appreciate the beauty in the discarded and "unattractive." They will be able to build and create something with new life out of these old worn pieces of scrap wood and also see the infinite possibilities recycled materials can have in the realm of art.
Artist Kris Kuksi is perhaps one of the most frequently submitted artists appearing in Colossal’s in box each month, so it’s with great honor that I finally share his work on this blog for the first time. Kuksi is famous for his Baroque-influenced assemblages that seem to splinter out like sculptural fractals, each component fused to another object or detail even smaller and intricate. Via his artist statement: Kris Kuksi garners recognition and acclaim for the intricate sculptures that result from his unique and meticulous technique. More

I came across mixed media/found object artist, James Michael Starr before the holidays and have been thinking about his work ever since. His statement: I find the aged and battered objects commonly employed in assemblage and collage to be both beautiful and moving, but am weary of their tendency, as art mediums, to take themselves so seriously. I hope to tweak that somberness and agenda, and make works that are more accessible, by evoking frivolous imagery from our collective consciousness. Dream Girl (2009) 22 x 15 x 13 in.

New One Title: Past Generation" Old One (private collection) New One Title:"3 Directions" (SOLD) I have been in a sort of a painting funk and decided to step away for a bit. I have had two very old empty wooden cashiers drawers hanging around in my studio for ages and decided it might be a good time to work on something different. I have created assemblages in the past and have a odd collection of items that really needed a home. I can't remember where I bought the vintage photos, perhaps at a garage sale or flea market. The second assemblage is owned by my son Michael. He was visiting us in Portland a few years ago and while he was here usually like to visit antique and junk stores. He is also a collector of things and will occasionally bring me an oddity such as a dolls head or the lady sitting crossed legged in the second piece. The old frame I used was something I lugged back on a plane after visiting him in LA. That one also has bits of broken green glass I will often pick up off the street when perhaps a car has a broken window. That one also has jewelry included. The last piece is another wooden cash drawer filled with odds and ends that I have stored away for just such a purpose... to re-purpose into something new. I had fun with the three small compartments at the bottom of the piece; that was all about layering various items to get what I wanted. I should have posted that three of my assemblages are showing at the SideSteet Gallery for the months of April and May. Rita Larson and Michael Pratt of "Pratt and Larson Tile" are the wonderful owners who support the arts and arstists with their funky and charming gallery and I am always proud to be a part of the shows they put on.
