in the artist’s [jas jermaine turk] words—

COLLAGE IS ITS OWN LANGUAGE /// where images + words conspire with the artist to relay a collective message to the masses. it serves as a universal language—a mother tongue that we are communally bound by & bonded through.

COLLAGE IS A DANCE & AN INTERPRETATION /// a syntax of coalesced elements that are looking for new arrangement without ambiguity.

COLLAGE IS RITUALISTIC /// collage offers familiarity to the artist & the viewer that is ‘kin to communion; it is ceremonial and prompts you to attune yourself & your surroundings in order to elicit new possibilities.

COLLAGE IS REGENERATIVE /// it is renewal; a compilation of materials that the artist gives new meaning to through intentional placement and the offering of a new perspective.

COLLAGE IS GIVING /// it is a visual reflection of an artists’ path traveled. through it’s process + product, we can see each time that the artist travels from past to present. we see what is possible for our future.
