COLLAGE
Collage developed as a powerful art form in the early twentieth century through the work of women artists who used fragmentation to challenge dominant histories. Hannah Höch’s Dada photomontages critiqued gender and politics, while later artists such as Barbara Kruger used text-based collage to expose systems of power and representation. This lineage is vital to my concept of UNmaking as a method of disruption in that by cutting apart and reconfiguring images, one is able to resist fixed meanings and opens space for critical reflection, alternative narratives, and transformative ways of seeing. I also love how this approach to image making, whether abstract of figurative, allows me to breathe new value into materials slated for discard.
