| I am a collagist/assemblist: a visual artist specializing in multimedia collage and assemblage My work utilizes paper items such as old documents,, ephemera, flower petals, stamps, paper currency, and book parts including pages, covers and spines.These elements are assembled together to produce a new form of document or artifact. I am particularly fond of the typography and calligraphy of languages and cultures from all over the world and intermix them in ways that are often incongruous and seemingly random. Much of my work since 2001 when I joined the Santa Fe Book Arts Group has been about altered books and works inspired by the book form. David Lee Hallmark |

| "Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'" -Edgar Allan Poe |
