Author: Bruce Reynolds, Yanni FlorenceCollage is a medium of Brevity. This theme is represented in the selection of pages and collages made from 5 artists books between 2005 and 20 25 with a process that emerges from the historical and the disposable, recalling earlier artists such as Schwitters, Hoch, Heartfield and Hamilton. The modernity of collage is connected to reproduction and representation. Destruction is its beginning and everything endures as a fragment, carrying a stamp of time and place. Removal and exclusion are like weeding a garden. The option of cutting or ripping reveals the structure of paper and the vulnerability of its imagery.BRUCE REYNOLDS is a Brisbane based artist who grew up in Canberra, whose migrant background is English and Nigerian. His practice enlists materiality to evoke a dialogue between recent histories and the archaic. He has been awarded Art and Architecture awards in 2011 and 2026.50 collages from 5 artists books by Bruce Reynolds with a preface by the artist.Essay by Roger Benjamin, Torn not Frayed: The Collage of Bruce ReynoldsInterview Bruce Reynolds in Conversation with Caroline JordanText and poem by Nathan Shepherdson, Table Talk at The Houseof Experimental Beauty and When Did The Cave Walk Out of ItselfDesign by Yanni Florence.ISBN 9780994320520.
