Masquerade

Weaving together anecdote, philosophical reflection, and striking creativity of the soul and skill of a poet and artist, Rickard offers an impressive introduction to collage. Also included are examples of his early marbling paper techniques. Jack has a long-time interest in collage, often returning to it after numerous diversions with other media. “My art and my writing are a way of being, an ever-changing combination of things, like collage, never complete. I believe the artist is a magician who creates illusions transforming moments into knowing on an emotional, intuitive level. Using rhythm, color, form, and symbols that leap the boundaries of time and space, he/she carries the viewer on a journey of expanded consciousness that reestablish spiritual connections with the earth and nature that have been lost in the steel canyons and concrete boxes of our technological society.” All book profits will be donated to the Kingman Heritage Hall of Honor, Kingman, Kansas.
