THE CHALLENGE One image, thirty completely unique pieces of art. Every artist featured in Collage was given this snapshot from 1958. We asked them to create a new collage using some, or all of this image of a little cowboy and his accordion-playing brother. The fantastic results can be found at the start of each artist’s section.

THE ARTISTS

I

LARISSA HAILY AGUADO I started the project Life Is a Collage in 2008, mainly out of a need for expression and personal communication. With collage I found a method in which I felt free to present my findings, despite the physical limitations of this technique. Paper, scalpel, and glue are my materials, and my tools. I seek, select, and classify images that I find interesting or attractive. I then combine them, transforming them into a new reality. The traditional handmade collage has its own identity and ethics, totally opposed to the infinite possibilities of digital, but this is where the true value is—the challenge of finding opportunities and achieving functionality within the constraints. I combine nature, people, and objects only in order to transmit more complex emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Today this remains my most effective way to represent my visual thinking.

MARíA APARICIO PUENTES I like to intervene on black-and-white images. I think that it’s a more “neutral” base where I can work, and where the relations I seek to emphasize can be highlighted in a better way. Also, I feel I am not working with the original and with that, the need to keep its reality. I think that the essence of an image can be more interesting through the overlapping of information, which in this case can be the visualization of an invisible geometry.

The subject of thread has been with me since college. I remember, I once connected the trees in a park to show the space between them. In a workshop exercise, I measured the facades of some buildings and then unrolled different dimensions of threads over me to demonstrate physically the relationship between the body and the scale of architecture. When I intervene with threads on an image, I work on another level—I am trying to demonstrate the special relationships that are generated in a moment (in a frame, in this case).

MARK BRADLEY-SHOUP The majority of my work arises from my observation and interaction with the natural and constructed landscape and how we respond to our sense of place in the world, as I am intrigued by how we inhabit and utilize space. This work is often derived from my own photographs and from mapping systems and architectural schematics. Given my response to consumer relationships and waste, a third series of work uses discarded items that culminate in the form of collages and mixed media. The images in this body of work are a form of aesthetic play and media experimentation. While most of my work has distinct conceptual underpinnings, this series presents a more sincere discourse with the concept of play within the confines of studio practice, where I allow the images and compositions to present themselves throughout the course of experimentation. While these images do not directly address the concepts embedded in my other work, they are linked and continue to influence one another. My collage and mixed-media work is the truest form of studio research, as many of the techniques and compositions fleshed out within these works also find themselves residing in my more traditional painting practice.

HOLLIE CHASTAIN I’ve always been fascinated with items from previous generations, especially ephemera. Letters, textbooks, little notes, and journals carry so much of a previous life. I am inspired by these snippets of a person and stamps of a particular time and place. Each graphite scribble is a treasure to me and I want to bring life back into the material that I use instead of letting it stay hidden, crumbling away.

LISA CONGDON My path into the world of art and illustration has not been a standard one. I did not begin painting, drawing, or making collages until I was thirty years old, and I am almost entirely self-taught. My intense obsessions with pattern, color, and faraway cultures have driven my vast catalog of work.   Much of my work (made primarily from graphite, gouache, ink, and paper) is narrative, though none of it is intended to be realistic snapshots of any particular time or place. While I draw from actual histories

and cultures, I work hard to transform them in unexpected ways. My intention is to draw viewers in so that they can invent their own narratives about my work. Paper patchwork, patterns, and a textile presence in my work reference my longtime romance with surface design, in particular the design and folk patterns of Scandinavia and other cultures. My work also combines obvious juxtapositions: combining bold neon colors with vintage sepia-toned photographs and traditional graphite drawings with collaged geometric shapes.

MATTHEW CRAVEN I use historical images as a backdrop for a more abstract form of storytelling. Images from lost cultures, relics, and landscapes, both well-known and extremely ambiguous, create the patterns within my work. These arrangements highlight shape and composition rather than historical accuracy, solidifying their participation in a unique myth.

ANDREA D’AQUINO I strive to create work that lies in the place where Yellow Submarine, Hieronymus Bosch, Serge Gainsbourg, J. D. Salinger, The Jane Fonda Workout, Jan van Eyck, and Soul Train all intersect. At that crossroad, take a left at the Beatles and Persian art. Note that I may or may not be there, depending on the day, so occasionally anyone still looking for meanings, rationales, or explanations should continue to travel in an easterly direction. Tiresome, I’ll admit. My goal is to strike that balance between focus and spontaneity, where the mind is both sharp and strangely absent. Where fortunate mistakes take place, and I am simply there to record them, a transcriber of happy accidents.

KATRIEN DE BLAUWER Emotions have always been the driving force and main consideration in what I do and make. I am strongly drawn to the uncomfortable in human emotion: pain, sorrow, loss, desire. I like the directness of pictures and their presence. With my condensed cuts-andpastes I try to relate a story of my own. In doing so, I find, often unwittingly, new meanings and associations, which also has a therapeutic effect on me. It’s a process of finding my own language and listening to it. I would like to quote Marina Abramović: “Difficult childhood problems, families, all those things, somehow become a treasure, become some kind of source of inspiration for later on.”

II

As my work evolves over time, there are some themes or images that reappear, for example: trees, women’s legs, hair, high heels, dresses, sea, mountains. At this moment, I’m coming to a point where I’ve started to pay more and more attention to the symbolic meanings of these themes.

HOLLY GABORIAULT I work in fragments, because of the many lives I live as an artist. My interests and studies vary, and collage has become a means of play and escape into a world I cannot plan. It reveals itself to me in the strangest ways and freely associates things otherwise not combined. I’m constantly breaking down what I see into smaller pieces and together, bit by bit, I let the story emerge, occasionally stepping back from this state of coincidence and faith. Color, pattern, humor, and the peculiar play crucial roles in my work. I began creating collages in multiple series, from studying etiquette and social codes for Victorian etiquette dance cards, to surrealist French paper dolls, to the fashion-conscious menagerie for Fashion Bestiary. A vehicle of limitless storytelling, collage is capable of communicating very profound ideas, both bizarre and poetic. Finding poetry within the bizarre is the key to most anything.

CLEMENS HABICHT 100 Faces is my ongoing project built from found anonymous photographs. Each uses every part of the photo to build a new anonymous portrait. Similar to a previous exhibition, 100 Kites, it uses a repeated formula of limitation and constraint to better exercise the collage muscle; from face 50 onward, they really start to sing.  I work in a variety of different media, but I still feel like what I do is collage. Live-action shoots can be treated as a cooking show with ingredients that then have to slot neatly into place, often in surprising ways. For me it’s about finding coincidences that resonate and feel like more than a sum of their parts, like alchemy. I often go about planning a project by assembling things that are in themselves already interesting to play with or by designing a situation where the component parts will play with each other in new ways; then it’s just about getting a good document of the result.

BETH HOECKEL In my collage and mixed-media work, I interlace singular components to assemble a new story—one in which emotional narratives play as important a role as aesthetic ones. Creating this imagery can be likened to piecing together a mental puzzle. I intend to pose an unusual question to the viewer, though one with which we are already deeply familiar. I believe the personal relationships that can be forged to each piece lend the work its air of charm and magnetism. I strive to present a provocative hint to intimate mysteries, much as a vague recollection from the subconscious stirs feelings of nostalgia. II

MICOSCH HOLLAND Most of my work starts from fragments of different sources—mostly “old paper stuff ”—found images, old photographs, and pages from vintage books and magazines—and it does not matter which period, country, or theme it comes from. I try to give the fragments a new context. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems that you can see history repeating itself in those bits and pieces of “old paper stuff.”

JP KING I have a compulsive relationship with multiple media, including collage, poetry, print, and relational art. Through my collage, I view the original not as an end, but as a means toward a final print, or page, in which digital enlargement of analog techniques and materials makes visible the delicacy of paper and ink. Multiplicity has always been an important theme in how I distribute my work, where I favor affordable prints and publications. I value the tranquil privacy of printed matter. Relying as much on chance as on a long, steady, and meditative process, my work evolves through cultivated mistakes. Taking a sculptural approach to the body and its relationship to its environment, I play with the presence or absence of a figure through reductive and additive layering. By employing fragmentary texts, I incorporate experimental concrete poetry, resulting in chaotic language and information pollution. Taking stylistic inspiration from utopian, modernist ideals in art and design, my graphic, geometric, layered, texture-heavy anachronistic scenes intend to evoke nostalgia and elicit shadows of cultural mythology. The past and future fuse in the creation of a fictional and experiential universe.

Even though I identify as a Vietnamese-born American, I still do not know what it means. There is a discord within my own origin due to the fact that I was born too late. By the time I arrived, Vietnam had already claimed its independence. Being born too late effectively removed me from that point in history. Growing up in the United States, I learned to adapt my identity living between two cultures. Identity is the central theme of my works, and I examine it through the bits and pieces of my personal memory and the collective history from the two cultures. I collect images from family photo albums, digital photographs, and fashion and home decor magazines. Through the process of mixed-media collage, I layer together the fragmented images to create a new historical narrative that is reflective of the tension within my own identity.

KATHRYN MACNAUGHTON I’m an aficionado of vintage porn magazines, and my work has been heavily influenced by a feminine aesthetic. Sometimes people think I’m solely flirting with the perversions of the pornographic imagery as I create. This is partially true: I am motivated by seeing the beauty in what an audience could perceive as audaciously explicit. The female form and poise are endlessly intriguing to compose with. Often understated, though, is the fact that the palette, textures, and patterns found beyond the palpable female bodies are elements that I believe give my collage work its breadth, its depth.

PETER MADDEN The collage artist, like anybody, needs a reason or two to do what he does. I write in secret, parallel to my practice. A poetry that slips often into a song, talking toward the thing that drives the art making: “Sequence serendipity, Have meanings half here and half in the beyond, have a methodology that celebrates ‘Masters of Mud’ Look to Poets you love & repeat them in another dimension, Confess only to Omni dimensional Collages, Make them have a sort of temporal itchiness, Collage like hope is shipwrecked money, Cut like the fragment has no edge, Collage like wind moving trees, celebrate surprise with collage, make the fragment breathe in the spaces of its escape ‘Plant glances like trees,’ make the indeterminate your glue, Undermine the horizon with that edge, Cut through the shadows that cast the signs of distance over you, Quote so much till you have forgotten the source, Quote till you have adopted it as your own.”

ARIS MOORE Observing people pretending to be themselves is fascinating. People sitting still, alone, or with others, presenting an expected smile or a thoughtful gaze—these gestures are amusing and revealing beyond their intention. It is in the moments before they are held captive, forever still, holding in belly and breast and trying for a smile that appears real that they are truly themselves. Then, with a click of the button, appropriate behavior takes over. And what is left are photographs, portraits, that suggest more than the white lies they are trying to tell. The goal in sitting for the photograph is to appear as content and capable as it is assumed everyone else is.

The people that I invent are a combination of this truth and fiction. They lack some of the facial structure that may help to contain their awkwardness. They are simultaneously vulnerable yet defiant. They are unable to conform. They travel in and out of the space between pretending to be themselves and unavoidably being their actual selves. They are self-aware, humble, and may make others feel uncomfortable, but it is probably because, though awkward, there is something familiar about them.

I think of my work as a form of journaling, an ongoing narrative, that I use to help me find my path and my sense of place. I use art making as a tool for understanding. It’s a process that allows me to think about the past and consider new ways forward. I don’t know what my purpose is yet, and I don’t fully understand where I come from, but art making is helping me find my way. I imagine it will be a lifelong process of learning and discovery, and I am excited about that. I

FRANCISCA PAGEO I find inspiration in onirism, occult, quotidianity, nature, and psychology. I consider art as a way-finding, from self-knowledge to all the things we have inside and we don’t know yet. I make art to explain to myself, and everyone else, how to find beauty around us—and because it’s the best medium for me to express myself. With photography I find questions, with collage I find answers.

LILLIANNA PEREIRA The language of myth allows a story to be a part of a wider universal context. Although these stories and archetypes may resonate very closely with me on a personal level, their creation derives from collective material and their power lies in the meaning and the broader truths that myths convey. Culled images from magazines, books, and newspapers are manipulated and reassembled in order to activate the archetypes that lie therein. I never start a piece with particulars in mind; serendipity and the personal unconscious guide the composition. The personal becomes collective and conscious once the stories start to emerge.

CIARA PHELAN In 2010 I set up my own freelance practice so I could work on my own visual languageand image-making skills. I particularly enjoy collecting science- and nature-based vintage ephemera and I frequently spend hours combing through car boot sales, charity shops, and junk stores searching for interesting and inspiring imagery. I also have a love of surface textiles, pattern making, and art history. I try to bring these passions together in my work to create detailed and thought-provoking illustrations.

My work explores the intersection between fantasy and reality. I take inspiration from the spirit of Dada and surrealist art of the past. The canvas is used as a stage where various conversations and stories play out. A theater of sorts. The characters and compositional elements are meant to reunite conscious and unconscious realms of experience—a space where the world of dream and fantasy can be joined and compared and contrasted to the rational world.

JOSE ROMUSSI Becoming an artist was a natural process for me, since I became an artist overnight, skipping most of the steps required. Finding my style came to me as naturally as becoming an artist, since I have always had in mind that there is more to what is tangible and visible. I have the belief that not everything has already been done. Therefore I am constantly exploring and discovering new techniques and materials to express and represent my ideas, reflect my inspirations, and turn them into artworks. The pictures or objects I work with are generally found. I pick them because I feel that they suggest intervention, that they want to be given a new perspective and a new moment in time. I make sure that whatever has already been forgotten is kept in the present. I am interested in stitching the past to the present, the real to the unreal.

ADRIENNE SLANE I create intricate collages from original vintage illustrations collected from many diverse sources. I combine images of plants, insects, animals, human anatomy, and religious figures into detailed, colorful collages where individual elements fit together like pieces in a puzzle. Inspired by the history of the curiosity cabinet, the Victorian concept of memento mori, and Christian iconography and ritual, my work celebrates the beauty and interconnectivity of nature while also acknowledging the cyclical aspect of life, death, and decay. My work blends elements of science, myth, and religion into images that pay homage to the past within a contemporary context.

XOCHI SOLIS Reflections on mood and emotional states, integrated with an exploration of material and color, are central to my current artistic practice. I begin my process of construction with observing organic forms found in the everyday, such as pebbles, plant leaves, cloud shapes, and the curves of the human body. By focusing on the abstraction of these forms, I construct low-relief wall installations and small works on paper created by using a variety of paints, paper, plastics, and found images collected from books and magazines. By integrating versatile and easily attainable materials with my painting method, I am able to provide a textural experience beyond what paint alone can create.

II

This method results in work with a heightened dimensionality and weight. Contextually, each work remarks upon a private narrative, focusing on my navigation of the emotional state. Popular music and colloquialisms are of specific interest to me and communicate a link to shared expressions of emotion—specifically, love, desire, pride, and sadness. My work is about harmony and contrast existing in the same instant, in both our natural and humanistic worlds.

FABIEN SOUCHE In many ways a descendent of Dada, I think that the apparent simplicity of my universe is the result of a reflection expressed in minute detail. I look, filter my artistic and political environment, observe the broad contemporary themes very precisely, and like to play with references. I try to leave behind facile aesthetics to show the bare idea, or at least the idea in its most simple expression—with just enough material for it to exist entirely. The resulting objects mix together derision, extravagance, and black humor.

BRANDI STRICKLAND My work is a journal, a scrapbook, an experiment—a place for me to process, distill, and transform my experiences and interests into something more holistic and meaningful. For me, collage begins with collecting, saving, acquiring, searching; then, as if they were memories, I meticulously sort, separate, and organize them into something new—something that is both happily accidental and tediously arranged. I find the whole process of creating art nurturing, therapeutic, and playful, and I endeavor to grant such pleasures to the viewer as well. Through serendipity, I seek honest expression, chance, mystery, and revelations. II

BILL ZINDEL My work has always involved found imagery and has in recent years shifted from printmaking and painting to collage. I am an obsessive collector of collage material from old magazines and ephemera. Tiny details, pattern, typography, and nostalgia are what interest me. My work as a designer informs my work formally, but my love of cutting, pasting, and collecting goes back to childhood. While attempting to make sense of the stacks of paper I have amassed, I am motivated by the frictions and harmonies that occur when disparate elements—beautiful or dull, suggestive or meaningless—rub up against each other to make something new.

ANTHONY ZINONOS My name is Anthony Zinonos, and I am a collage addict. I first tried collage at a young age and have not stopped using since. My habit has taken over my life—my studio is filled with old magazines and books, paper scraps cover the floor, I sometimes get so desperate I even pick these scraps off the floor and use them. When not using, my days consist of desperately searching car boot sales and secondhand shops to score more printed papers, then I scurry back home to cut and stick. My scissors and glue have become my best friends, they never judge me. I have attempted to quit, and have even tried other media, but neither painting, drawing, nor photography could give me that content, warm, glowing feeling.
