From Robert Rauschenberg to Hannah Höch and Max Ernst, I’ve all the time been interested in collage and meeting. These strategies, the place the separate components are edited and merged into one thing new, have been fascinated for a very long time – surprisingly, like my obsession with gathering elements to make an improvised dish.
Equally, collaboration mirrors collage. It’s a dynamic merger of particular person voices, views and talents. Simply as a collage artist collects items to type a brand new narrative, collaboration brings collectively varied concepts to create one thing better than the sum of his elements. It’s about discovering connections, embracing distinction and permitting a undertaking to evolve as creators work together to combine, reshape and switch it right into a collective piece.

Whereas visiting wine + eggs within the village of Atwater in Los Angeles, ITRI wine bottles drew my consideration with their eclectic, female and botanical labels – a collage itself. Itri wines are the results of a collaboration between Kent Humphrey, Adam Croce and Casey O’Brien. Captivated with connecting individuals with wines that align with their particular person tastes, O’Brien and Croce collaborated with Humphrey, who has created wines awarded California for over three a long time.

After studying extra, I found that the ITRI wines are elaborated “for inadvertents, by inadvertents”. The idea of “wine for inadvertencies” actually resonated with my collaboration with Susan Holland in Pluck. Holland is a fierce non -public artist whose artistic confidence is each impressed and aspirational. It challenges conventions and encourages others to discover their very own inventive borders. Reconnecting with somebody who regularly evokes curiosity and pushes the borders is a present. This collaboration remains to be an instance of how the collage of experiences, individuals and tasks we accumulate alongside the way in which provides that means to each life and artwork.
