assemblage |
This category is for works that I do not consider to be collage, though both are recognized as a patchwork. Assemblage is a form that isn't bound to a constructed surface, however, but acquires its nature through recognition of the separateness of the objects that compose it. My own scant work in this area is insufficient to illustrate this; think instead of Joseph Cornell's boxes, or Candy Jernigan's collections. Particular works by Jasper Johns or Rauschenberg might find a home here, after having fit uneasily into painting. Some may break up what I would place in this grouping into sculpture or installation, but I think to do that would lose the uniqueness of an identity found in a preservation of multiplicity. |
