Assemblage and collage are art making processes that could be described as “piece work.” While

collage often refers to works made of flat materials such as colored and textured paper, fabric, and

photographs, assemblage can involve any manner of objects, two or three-dimensional. Both

processes engage the acts of choosing, piecing together, arranging, and affixing.

The Baltimore-based artists in this exhibition have a track record of piecing together materials in

their craft. Some use objects that are individually identifiable but take on different meanings when

assembled, or are in conversation with each other. Here viewers may be invited to create a

narrative. Other artists take a more abstract approach, relying on color, form, and texture to create an

object meant to be experienced without a story. Cumulatively, this exhibit demonstrates a diverse

range of piece work. – Schroeder Cherry, Ed.D. curator
