Kolaj Fest New Orleans is a multi-day festival and symposium about contemporary collage and its role in art, culture, and society, 7-11 June 2023. Visit the\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0to learn more, see an overview of the program, and register\u00a0to\u00a0attend.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the mid-18th century, innovative bookmakers were inspired by theatrical stage sets to create books where sections were carefully cut out to create the illusion of depth and perspective. Originally called \u201cpeep shows”, some of these early books were made to celebrate the building of the tunnel under the Thames River in London. They were often sold as souvenirs at tourist attractions. Today artists continue to make these wonderful objects to the delight of viewers. At Kolaj Fest New Orleans, Canadian artist Jessa Dupuis will conduct a demonstration of tunnel book making and be available to speak to those interested in learning how to make these marvelous works of art.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posted in the Collage Making Space, Dupuis will speak about how books are made, answer questions about the best cutting tools and glue; sources for books and collage materials; and offer tips and tricks for cutting book covers and pages. For those who want to make their own tunnel book, she will offer guidance on planning and composing layers within the tunnel to create a unique visual environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessa Dupuis<\/strong> is a collage and mixed media artist living and working in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Her work is a delicate balance of losing, winning, observing, wondering, letting go, and reclaiming. Merging art and design, abstraction and order, truth and fiction, her intention is to create pieces that allow people to laugh, cry, wonder, and connect with their own narratives in her visual storytelling. She favors the weird and fantastic bits of life and she hopes you enjoy the weird and wonderful that comes out of her lovely (and very messy) studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a drop-in demonstration and attendees are welcome to stay and long or as little as they like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
