wall Flowers- Collage as Street Art catalogue AIR 2021
My involvement in the Collage as Street Art Residency in July of 2021 included 24 artists from around the world as we all met and discussed our projects in an online forum. It was great to see how other artists were dealing with their ideas and the challenges faced with the pandemic from all these varied locations. This book is a great accumulation of the artists project highlights from this residency and as a collective idea with the Street Krew moniker for this interesting movement.
For this residency I created 59 collages in 30 days, with 2 very large street collage pieces- all works were left on the street- you are welcome LA! It was a great excuse to safely get out more frequently in the midst of a pandemic, meet and talk with some amazing artists, in addition, it was fun and challenging and an exciting venture outside of my usual studio practice.
After over a year, the catalogue is finally out and available here:

Some good essays and great work by the artists involved.
Check it out!!! and but your copy now ;)
