"This beautifully illustrated volume introduces readers to eight artists who find inspiration in objects that others may see as merely utilitarian or even toss aside as junk. An elegantly designed tribute to artists who find beauty where others see trash."

Silver-Medal

“Whimsical is not a light statement, it’s wonderful, imaginative and thoughtful, all of which is on display in this surprising book. Congratulations! Not just about Art and artist and the craft, but peppered throughout with information that brings depth to the assemblages and their individual elements.”

 -IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Judge
‘Silver Award’ for Art & Photography

"A delightful and thought-provoking tour through the world of assemblage art through the eyes and hands of eight prominent Northern California assemblage artists. Sometimes the themes are humorous, sometimes very serious, and the objects are reassembled in ways that demonstrate their beauty from an unexpected angle. This book is a work of art itself"
