FonSomething’s Collage Magnet Packs and Other Works<\/h2>\n

Fon Borrello describes himself as “a collage artist of the fifth mind.” We didn’t know what that meant so we asked him. “The fifth mind is a place I go when I make art. It’s my zone. My flow,” he told us. Borrello, who operates under the moniker FonSomething, got into collage a few years ago when his girlfriend sent him one in the mail. He sent one back. He was into drawing at the time, but it wasn’t satisfying his creative need. “Collaging showed me new ways of being creative. I started to collect magazines and never stopped since. Collages gives me the creative satisfaction that I look for,” he said. In Kolaj<\/em> #24, we profile this artist whose magnet packs are an art product spreading collage in the world.<\/p>\n
