Jurors Carlos Hernandez, Shanna Strauss, and Chadwick Tolley selected work from over 700 entries to craft a vibrant and wide-ranging exhibition that explores the act of layering. While there are some traditional prints in the exhibition that use collaging to craft their imagery, the work has a lot of material exploration, including fabric, currency, thread, plant matter, stamps, lotto tickets, gum wrappers, and dictionary pages. These media are expertly collaged through methods such as printing, sewing, gluing, and screwing. Superimposed exemplifies how practices can converge and be enhanced by the art of collage.
About the artist
Laura Unger
I am a retired Labor Union representative who audits classes at UDC. I have done printmaking, illustration in pen and ink and scratchboard and painting, mainly in watercolor. I try to make the majority of my work relevant to social Justice, though these collages are portraits. My work has been selected for many years for exhibition at the juried UDC Student Art Show.
