Editorial reviews:
Lindsay Whiting provides a wonderful resource on the power of healing and discovery found in collage work. She honors the extraordinary teaching of Barbara Jacobsen and Audrey von Hawley on the range of information and revelation found in collage images. Useful at any age for personal and professional development! --Angeles Arrien, Ph.D., Cultural Anthropologist, author of The Four-Fold Way and Second Half of Life
By highlighting a group process pioneered in Sonoma, California, Lindsay Whiting articulates the surprising, spontaneous and creatively fulfilling experience of working with recycled visual images. Sharing the collages in the group is the binding ritual that gives meaning to this particular work where the artists speak of mystery, trance, and serendipity all within the framework of their creative process. One artist sums it up perfectly, calling collage a portal through which our dreams and visions emerge. --Vicki Noble, Artist, Writer, and Teacher; Author of Shakti Woman (1991) and The Double Goddess (2003)
With stories you won't soon forget, Lindsay Whiting introduces readers to individuals who explore art and personal insight across a range of approaches: the intuitive, aesthetic, meditative, abstract, political and beyond. Learn how collage depicts what is most real, true and authentic in life and can help one deal with even the darkest of times. --Mary K. Greer, author of Tarot for Your Self: A Workbook for Personal Transformation
