Twelve artists explore collage and assemblage as a coping mechanism, siren call, or cautionary warning for collective concerns that impact our culture. Their “collections” are focused on environmental, emotional, and societal stressors; collective concerns that address climate change, covid, grief, identity, and politics. Whimsical to macabre; refined to raw, poetic to strident; these intimate works pack a hefty punch that belie their small scale. Assembled from discarded but highly curated materials, each artist presents a unique collection of works that speak to the challenges posed by unprecedented times.
