The War Peace Project
Working from a Russian edition of Tolstoy's War and Peace, Lucy Arrington, Lola Baltzell, Lynn Waskelis, and Lucy "Lulu" Zahner are systematically creating individual collages on vellum from each of the over 800 pages of this masterwork. See their exploration of the book unfold as it happens on their blog, warpeaceproject.blogspot.com.

"Inspired by nature, the intuitive paintings seem to evolve from the subconscious level, the emergence of form is resolved as part of the process of painting. A passion for humanity exists in the complex expressive form and inferences. As a whole, the work achieves poignancy through a unique perspective that resonates throughout the cohesive presentation. Wonderful work."
