Artist Statement:
Kathleen Colussy’s series
contends with the dueling
realities of the slick gloss

gritty real life of the
indigenous people living and

Colussy’ work relates to the
complexity of reconciling and
integrating the truth behind
these two conflicting
realities in her art.
Kathleen’s work is a series of
handmade books entitled:
Treasures our of darkness,
hidden in plain sight.
Each handmade book is based on
a given country or culture,
that has been constructed in a
variety of mixed media
including and not limited to;
photography, ceramics, surface
embellishment, reclaimed
materials and the use of
digital printing and dye
sublimation.
The books are filled with
multi-layered and non linear
images that reveal the
disconnection of the dueling
realities that are confronted.
Several issues that addressed
are; human trafficking, the
homeless, issues of rape,
indentured servants, AIDS,
forced sterilization and
abortions, and child
prostitution. The difficult
subject matter is handled in a
reverential and
non-confrontational manner.
The elegant sophistication of
how each of the books have
been constructed, beckons the
viewer to a more and intimate
glimpse into the mind and
heart of the artist. The
engaging visual story ...
