ABOUT COLLAGE MACABRE<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Your work will betray your secrets. Obsessions, hidden desires, and desperate wishes all woven into the fabric of what we make. A sculpture crafted with longing, a painting of a dream just barely articulated, the craving that cannot speak its name buried in a short film\u2019s score. Old want only spoken aloud through someone else\u2019s voice. Need etched on someone else\u2019s lips for all the world to see. A false self created for the audience to claim as its own, still hiding what it knows.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Through these eighteen stories, dread is the medium of choice, winding its way through each unsettling and terrifying tale about human creation, the artistic follies and triumphs we imbue with so much meaning. You will find artists and audiences alike grappling with confrontations beyond their comprehension, works that require more than careful consideration\u2014sometimes a little bit of blood is necessary. Art is alive if you are. Inside these pages you will be asked to open yourself up like a wound and expose your mind to the darker side of our oeuvre.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ABOUT THE LAMENT OF SAN MIGUEL<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Ramon Acosta stands alone between the residents of San Miguel and a deity whose wrath was once feared by all. But as tradition fades, so does the fragile barrier that separates the villagers from the ancient god\u2019s vengeful rage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
