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

Eliza Clifford (she/her) is a Philadelphia-based multidisciplinary printmaker and fiber artist. Her work explores perception and memory through digital and craft processes; printing, collaging, weaving, layering, and reprinting on top of constructed substrates to make shifting, entangled forms. Working across print, textiles, and book arts, she creates assemblages that hold erosion, repair, transformation, and accumulation, tracing how we move through and shape our environments.
