The Collage Taxonomy Project is an ongoing survey of the wider collage community that attempts to define the language we use to talk about collage. Visit the project\u2019s website to suggest words or contribute definitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk about scanography. This art form uses the unique technology of a scanner to make an image. Unlike digital cameras that use a variable diaphragm to focus light and collect an image, scanners shine a light on its subject and use a series of mirrors and lenses to direct the image onto a photosensitive element that translates it into digital information. This trades depth of field for optical resolution and three-dimensionality. The result is highly detailed and scalable. The concept comes to us from Maureen Williams, an artist and gallerist in Yreka, California, who has included scanography in her practice for many years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Kolaj<\/em> #19<\/a>, Ric Kasini Kadour explores the idea of Collage Painting and discusses Williams’ artwork. To read the full article, Subscribe<\/a> or Get a Copy<\/a> of the print magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
