Renowned assemblage artist Michael deMeng guides you down the intuitive, curious and often rock-strewn path of an artist's creative process, where illusions are just as important as any other technique to the art. You'll be inspired by ways to add meaningful symbolism to your artwork through the use of color and shape and see how an ancient tale can parallel the artist's plight and invoke a new piece of art.--[book cover]
