MIXED MEDIA IDEAS GALORE September 6, 2007
I am so deeply in love with this book! Each idea is fresh and new and the pictures make everything really clear. I haven't even finished it (although I've had it for quite a while) because I'm trying out the new mixed media ideas on projects as I go.....kinda savoring each section and saving the rest for later ...so many ideas! So little time!
Resource August 28, 2007
I intend to use this as a resource for a University sculpture class for beginning sculptors. I am pleased with its
presentation of ideas and examples. A great starting point for discussions and projects.

The Altered Object is bursting with photos of some of the best known and most accomplished assemblage artists working in the US today. While I really appreciate Mr. Taylor's inclusion of "A Brief History" of altered objects, pointing out that this artistic movement has been around for a good long time and shows no signs of imminent demise and the deliciously informative section on "The Basics", which includes everything from how to organize random bits & pieces, to making one's own ephemera, to a thorough adhesives guide, and while I acknowledge that many people will relish the step by steps found within these pages so they can duplicate a piece exactly, for me, the best part of The Altered Object is the plethora of pieces pictured, and the commentaries and quotes of the artists included. I was delighted to see the Joseph Cornell inspired work of Theresa Petersen, who produces pieces "in the tradition of", but with her own colorfully mod twist, and allowed to revel in the work and words of one of the most adept and prolific artists out there, Pat Chapman. Working in her New Mexican studio, she is putting together pieces of exceptional wry wit and decadent beauty. Seven of her assemblages are shown - check out pages 60-63.
A new fave artist for me, I had my introduction to the cool altered work of Joe de Camillis in this book and will definitely be watching for more!

This book offers many inspirational ideas for the creative mind on the fine art of collage. The book is not just a "more scrapbooking" volume but a full-fledged compilation of artists and ideas for serious people. Read, enjoy and be moved to Assemblage!

The only reason I bought this book was because it was a nice package deal with SECRETS OF RUSTY THINGS. How lucky am i to get two 5 Star books at once! Although this is basically a "how-to" book, it differs from the norm because it has interresting information about the artists, their creative process and the objects used. The mix of artists and their styles is nice too.
