Knights Clive
Collage is the most egalitarian of the visual arts, available to anyone with an imagination, some paper and some glue. The making of collage is like the unfolding of a conversation. The artist and each paper fragment are the participants. With any good conversation the meaning only emerges in the shared space formed by the contributors.
The outcome of a conversation is never known beforehand, before the disparate parties find common agreement in a new synthesis of understanding, even if they disagree. To preempt a conversation is to kill its potency. To pre-plan a collage does much the same thing.
Clive Knights is a visual artist. Lives and works in the USA.
