At Hand, At Present: Collage and the Practice of Making Do
Juried by Nick Larsen
This layering of material--which occurs across media, including but not limited to video, sculpture, textiles and quilting, painting, and photography--opens up new possibilities for the ideas, objects, and images around us. Collage is about context or, more specifically, re-context, as the meaning of that original content shifts through repurpose, recombination, and re-imagination.

At its core, collage is a way of pulling from what already exists to imagine something that doesn't. It's about making do with what's at hand and using those limited resources to explore fantasy, fiction, speculative pasts and futures, hybridity, the impossible, and the not-yet-to-be.
