Collage has the immediate result of allowing the artist to experiment freely, to appreciate the joy of unlimited experimentation, and to experience the surprise of unanticipated outcomes. Following this is the possibility for application of the artist’s own inventions, skills and discipline, at any level. Making collage—a great application for artistic creation...and a lesson for living Life.

I make a reinterpretation of a postcard from the 50’s and from a daily life magazine from 2011. The reading is made by a subject in 2011, born in the 1970’s Portugal. An interpretation of the symbolic from the two moments in time as well as from the two spaces, represented here with the presence of words and the infinite array of daily experiences* wish continue to present themselves to us. Then as now.

263 - Suzé Gilbert - USA
OM.2012.101 - Suzé Gilbert - Maroc, July 1903 - USA - postcard collage
Artist Statement:
When I was young I watched my Polish great-grandmother gather scraps of old worn-out clothing and by sewing those pieces together, create a utilitarian quilt. Inspired by her patience in cutting and stitching, collage brings together those disparate elements of cast- off fragments of life, whether it be magazines, clothing, letters, or books.
The process of creating a new dialogue by incorporating pieces of paper into a cohesive whole is a meditative process for me, and one that continues to engage me as printed matter declines in our technological present life.Sunday, March 4, 2012

OM.2011.198 -ADRIANA LANGTRY CARRERI -Milan, ITALY - “Uranian Alphabet” -
dimensions: 13x 18 cm -2011 - mixed media collage
Web: www.collagepoesie.it
STATEMENT:
Collage is an ancient technique with an enormous expressive potential. It offers a lot of opportunities for experimentation with materials and invention of new realities. Cutting, tearing, layering, pasting, shifting and removing pieces, painting my own papers, looking for old images or working with asemic writing, I feel like an alchemist exploring the mystery or a “dirty nails” gardener planting seeds. Collage for me is freedom of expression, an endless creative research in a constant metamorphosis. A bright fragment of life.249 - Jessica Porterfield - USA

| Jessica Porterfield - USA - collage on canvas - 8x10 inches - Materials: primed canvas, acrylic paint, scrapbook paper, hand carved stamp image, gel medium |
Never before in time have there been so many mediums to combine to express beauty or political statements or spiritual truth than currently. one can intermingle a polymer clay piece with a found object
or that perfect book page or scrap of altered paper and make something so essential.
Collage satisfies some deep itch since it marries so may other art forms together. The painting, the tactile tearing of paper, and fitting together disparate pieces of paper or found objects is deeply moving
and necessary to me.

[146] Kelly Gorman - USA
OM.2012.054 - Kelly Gorman - USA - "The Three Palm Seers" 2009
Original Collage (Found Paper, glue, found vintage postcard)
Note: This work was created in the UK and previously exhibited in the UK
Statement:
Collage allows us the opportunity to see everyday images in a very different way. In
this image, people walk past the shoreline to look out at how the imagery has began
to shape itself into the rocks of their natural world. Are they surprised that this has
become their natural world? …Or is it an unquestioned glance as they continue their
weekend stroll down the dirt trail?
