Rashani Rea

Collaborating with the Inevitable Rashani Rea

This is the first collection of collages by Rashani Réa, which does not include words. She shares her profound process in the introduction. A new style of collages has emerged. With this book, Rashani gives us beauty in a fluid dance of ecotones-a flow of edges (thresholds) and containers (circles) that invite us to a deeper place, and bring us back out again. We are the same, but different, greater, changed by the play of light, by following the spirals, and connecting the pathways of lines and dots, hues and splashes. A transformation from ordinary to extraordinary, and back to the ordinary. Like the trees in their heliotropic way of always, always, reaching upward toward the sun, Rashani 'cuts the ropes' and sets herself free to walk the land of the visionary artist that she is, and always will be.
