Enjoy a Conversation with Artists: July 10 | 4:00 PM and a Collage Workshop: July 25 | 2:00 PM
Presented in conjunction with Making Meaning: A Collage Symposium at the Vassar Institute for the Liberal Arts, this exhibition brings together five artists whose collage-based practices investigate place, memory, and materiality. Through acts of collecting, layering, cutting, weaving, stitching, and assembling, fragments of the physical world are transformed into works that navigate both earthly and psychological terrain.
Drawing from geological formations, urban surfaces, found objects, textiles, maps, and archival fragments, the artists allow traces of accumulated histories to remain visible within their compositions. Whether rooted in the glacial landscapes of the Hudson Valley, the layered streets of Berlin and Brooklyn, or the quiet accumulation of color and material gathered over time, the exhibition considers place as something continually constructed—shaped by perception and the meanings we attach to the places we inhabit.
