COLLAGE

13/12/2014

Collage (From the French: coller, to glue), is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

In her book SoulCollage® Evolving (pages 87; 4), Seena Frost explains that collage is the medium for SoulCollage®  "because it quiets fears you may have about not having talent to make "art".  Everyone can choose an image, cut it out, and glue it down.... Collage is a metaphor for any discovering, gathering and reweaving of energy bits already formed and present in the universe.  A new and personal creation can be made from the ever-present divine chaos of images all around us.  Just choose, assemble, name, and then inhabit your SoulCollage® cards".   

Here are two other quotes which are favourites of mine in describing or explaining collage:

“Collage artists are as much editors and arrangers as they are creators.”  Cecil Touchon (Collage Artist).  Masters: Collage: Major Works by Leading Artists.  Lark Books.  2010. p. 86

“Originality doesn’t mean making something that’s completely new; nothing is completely new.  Originality means bending and shaping what’s come before until it belongs to you.” ~ Robert Hunt (Collage Artist).  Masters: Collage: Major Works by Leading Artists.  Lark Books.  2010. p. 59

Collage also has an interesting history as this Wikipedia article reveals.
