COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaclyn McCabe: Unspoken Fragments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Burnt Canoe Studio in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
20-27 September 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Exploring grief and longing through hand-cut collage, using unexpected juxtapositions, negative space, and fragments of song lyrics\u2014echoes of memory and the things left unsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love came into my life like a tornado. It carried me so high I felt as if I were touching the sun, but like Icarus, the ascent\u2014magnificent, blazing, impossible to resist\u2014was fleeting, and the fall left me in an emotional fog that threatened to consume me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection is my attempt to make sense of the wreckage\u2014born from the raw vulnerability of love, the paralyzing despair of heartbreak, and the bittersweetness of grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objects I select and hand-cut\u2014from art books, independent fashion magazines, scientific journals, and my own photography\u2014often carry symbolic weight, sometimes as private references, sometimes as intuitive flashes that emerge in the act of making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Song lyrics weave through the pieces as emotional narrators, giving voice to feelings I could not speak aloud. Together, these elements create a rhythm between image and text\u2013a heartbeat that carries the tension, longing, and release of intimacy and grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to M. Ward\u2019s question in “Chinese Translation”\u2014\u201cWhat do you do with the pieces of a broken heart?\u201d\u2014I gather them, arrange them, and give them form, letting the fragments become something whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
