COllage

11 September-9 November 2025
The dynamic world of collage and assemblage comes to life in this exhibition through bold patterns, unexpected materials, and striking visual narratives. Artist Janice McDonald joins a host of other artists that use the act of layering to explore memory, identity, passion, and place, transforming everyday materials into powerful statements. Whether stitched, glued, painted, or constructed, each piece invites you to look closer, to uncover hidden meanings, and to rethink what collage can be.

Step into a world where fragments become stories, and where the familiar is made new; this is collage as you’ve never seen it before. Far from random layering, each work reveals a careful design of elements—scraps, textures, sounds, and objects—brought together with deliberate intention.
