| Donna Engstrom USA "I am a painter and over the last three years have been exploring the female figure in all her splendour - daughter, mother, goddess. For me, these collages illustrate the beauty and mystery of women of all ages and cultures." |

Jane Wynn
| Jane Wynn USA Working on these collages was a bit of a struggle for me - I am used to working sculpturally and I have forgotten what it is like to work on paper. I became obsessed with the number 13: my grandmother whom I grew up with always said that 13 was her favorite number and she loved Friday 13th. I found images of women from the 1920's - 1940's and that made me think of my grandmother. Even with her being gone now for over ten years, she still finds a way to always be with me, as she told me she would. I had figured out an "idea" about the number 13 and death notices and needed to wait just long enough to get them from the local paper- that is why my package was a bit late- I needed to "go" with the whole authenticity of dates and time - Kind of like being superstitious ... they are a bit on the strange side if you think about the whole "obituary" thing - but as I see it- I am memorializing these women. Thirteen Ladies Passing. |

| Cheryl Muirson New Zealand. I was reading the story of King Midas to my junior art class as a motivation for their art work, with the offshoot that it motivated me as well. All these collages have sayings to do with gold. |

Postmark Paris
Postmark Paris

Judy Finer
| Judy Finer USA. Printed books are the source of all elements: The stamps are printed pages taken from a small book, Postmark Paris, a gift to me from a friend. The collaged birds are cutouts from a 1930's illustrated guide to North American birds; the added text is taken from an old dictionary. I mean these small pieces to be evocative of the spirit of Baker's Dozen - art (the French stamps themselves) and communication over distances, the carrying of messages(stamps and birds). I also use the birds as nods to Ernst and Cornell. In this series, I enjoyed playing with ambiguities of scale, picture plane illusions, visual puns, and the enigmatic beginnings of narratives. Like one-liners, the pieces were fun and fairly quick to do. This work is different from my usual collages. I typically use more elements and dense layering for greater visual/relationship complexities. |
