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
Evi Sargeant
I am a printmaker and painter, and a 2D BFA Studio Art graduate from Messiah University.
My body of work primarily explores the challenges and complexities of my identity as a transracial Chinese adoptee. The subject of my pieces often revolves around self-portraits as well as still-life objects that are a blend of Chinese and American cultures. I seek to reconcile the cultural dissonance between my suburban American upbringing and my rural Chinese heritage.
