The Endangered C
註釋If you look at the history and the specialities of monoku and collage, you will come to the interesting conclusion that both genres are amazingly different and similar at the same time?-?and can therefore complement and expand each other excellently due to their complexities and ambiguities.Jim Kacian and Terry Ann Carter, both masters of their respective genres, unerringly and creatively explore new boundaries with their joint works in this book, and yet?-?or precisely because of this?-?allow the spark of poetry to jump over in new and surprising ways. Both monoku and collage seem to bring together fragments of this world here, the "traces" of their origins remain visible sometimes only imaginable, at the same time narrative lines are interrupted . . . the viewer's imagination becomes part of the artistic process.The deliberate omission (elision) in monoku and pos-sible free spaces (ma) in collages are two techniques that can astonishingly complement and enrich each other in their interplay. Seen in this light, the works in this book certainly correspond to the overall conception of a haiga.
