Robert Stanley and Kathleen Zmuda collaborated on a piece about journey, fragments, stories, nature, and expression. In a cleared area at the end of a forrested allee, 2 ft. x 3 ft. fragments of concrete were scattered about. On these fragments were inked bits of stories and poetry. Seemingly floating in the air, frames "framed" particular views, showing the subjectivelness of viewpoints. A 4 ft. x 4 ft. computer image of fragments real and imagined, one of which was a photo of the field behind the image, gave viewers a chance to meditate. The installation invited participants to add these bits to their perception as they looked around, seeing serene fields, twisted deadfall branches, smelling the forrest—all the ones plus ones plus ones that add up to a One. Viewers could place their own writings or drawings a box near one of the chairs, or look in the box for the responses of others—more fragments that added up to a new, creative whole.

Several times during the exhibition, Kathleen Zmuda told a story or a poem that led to an embrace of beauty around and within..

The Lubeznik Center for the Arts sponsors the annual 1 + 1 = One, curated by Jon Hook and Andrea Peterson, who invited and paired twenty artists that they intuited would complement and harmonize well in a collaborative effort to produce a site-specific work, considering the environmental/agricultural setting as inspiration. The setting is between Laporte and Rolling Prairie, Indiana, a farm with a variety of landscapes: vast wheat fields, grassy hills, wooded lanes, ponds and woods.

Artists talk and ideas percolate. Artists collaborate and remarkable creations are born. Columbia’s Center for Book and Paper Arts gathers some of the finest examples of historic and current artists’ book and printing collaborations.
