Institute for Extreme Visual Journalism

WHAT IS EXTREME JOURNALISM?

Here is an example from my "Initiation " workshop of how to rework a page...Extreme Journalism is a unique creative process designed by Juliana Coles in 1992 that combines words with images for self dailogue, healing, and transformation.

Student Work

Student Work is highlighted in the Photo area below. This week we are featuring Shelley's Extreme Visual Journal Pages from the workshop, Altered States: Altered Book as Extreme Journal. Notice how we combine text with imagery through mixed media, collage, and drawing. Student work is incredibly sensitive and honest and they are very brave to share their intimate work with the world. This is how we change lives, one page at a time. I can help you give voice to your unique expression.

I"m excited to share my new figure work that incorporates text with imagery, just like my extreme journaling process.
