They think about and share in artmaking. As a teaching-artist they are interested in how adopting collage as a organizing principle opens up conceptual permissions for collaborative works and site-responsive making. A collage can intervene, critique, dream or convene. People, materials, spaces, time and relationships are all parts of the collage.
