\nFROM KOLAJ 21<\/p>\n

“Ripped scraps of reds and blues radiate from a burst of red-orange stripes. Images like doorframes, branches, skylines, birds, taxis, and building facades nest around the brightly striped crescents torn from hot air balloons, offering a bullseye and linear structure to what would otherwise be a cacophony of images. Along the bottom edge, small cutout letters spell \u201cdada,\u201d both the collage and art movement exploiting the accidental and incongruous,” writes Micaela Marini Higgs in Kolaj<\/em> #21<\/a>. Higgs profiles Houston, Texas artist Shawn Miller.<\/p>\n

Miller’s My Messy Desk<\/em> appears on the cover of Kolaj<\/em> #21. For the first time in the magazine\u2019s history, the cover does not feature an actual collage. My Messy Desk<\/em> is a photograph of Shawn Miller\u2019s workspace.<\/p>\n

Using erasers to fade pictures and torn edges to blur carefully cut pieces, Miller is more interested in the feeling and process of making a collage than cautiously trying to preserve his source material or share a particular message.<\/em><\/h2>\n
