Speier, Amy Stober, & Michelle Uckotter. This is the gallery’s first group exhibition and will open with a reception Friday September 16th from 6-9.

    “To me this show is about collage. It is utilized by every artist in this exhibition at some  point during production. Some collage digitally- as preliminary sketches for more traditional approaches, some in a more straight forward sense- by sourcing photos and organizing them on a surface with an adhesive. Some collage objects and ephemera, akin to quilting, jamming things into frameworks that are sometimes tightly made or almost falling apart . The act of collaging is, to me, violent. It forces things to be together and bound. It reinforces the notion that all things are merely the sum of their parts, and not always what they seem to be. When I curate I feel like a collagist; I mostly just want to see different things next to one another.”
