Perrella, Lynne. Art Making, Collections & Obsessions: An Intimate
Exploration of the Mixed-Media Work and Collections of 35 Artists.
Quarry: Quayside. 2008. 160p. photogs. ISBN 978-1-59253-363-3.
$26.99. FINE ARTS Perrella (Beyond Paper Dolls) features creative
uses by 35 artists of found and collected objects such as buttons,
shells, textiles, photos, suitcases, utensils, and other castoffs
that are given second lives in art projects. Examples of each
artistÆs works are displayed on a colorful double-page spread, with
large photo reproductions and commentary that includes quotations
from writers and musicians. Some of the most innovative and clever
applications are wedding-cake-box sculptures, worn and painted
gloves, and outlandishly decorated corsets and military garb.
Instead of serious intellectual art, this is more a showcase of
works by artists having fun with trinkets and treasured ephemera.
Contact information and artist web sites are included at the back.
A popular crafts addition suitable for many public
collections.Russell T. Clement, Northwestern Univ. Lib., Evanston,
