The gallery describes the show as “inspired by the patchwork style of collage. The show spotlights the work of 11 artists, some through traditional collage, and others who have taken a collage-inspired aesthetic to different mediums, like oil paints, and sculpture.”

British artist Abigail Reynolds does not take images at face value. Using the art of collage, she enhances the original picture by creating intricate assemblages out of repurposed vintage photographs, magazines, encyclopedias, atlases, and other materials she finds. "The act of folding one image into the other pushes them out into three dimensions in a bulging time ruffle," she says. Often, these feature rural England, architectural landmarks, and obscure landscapes, folded into three-dimensional geometric patterns.
