COLLAGES is a conversation between Lauren Coullard’s figurative collages (2022-2024) and writer Lillian Davies’s word collages. Reflecting Coullard and Davies’s ongoing creative exchange and their shared belief in the disruptive and generative potential of collage, this book celebrates the playful process of collaboration.« Source material for Coullard’s collages jumps from manga (« Where it’s jaune de Naples, that’s an original manga, not a photocopy ») to 15th century European painting, Sci-Fi films and French bande-dessinées. The resulting forms, the cast of characters that emerges, Coullard frees from their original identities and narratives. One of the powers of collage is its ability to shapeshift and transform, to pull apart age, identity, and gender. Creating a personnage across mediums and across time that will transform again when Coullard translates her collage into painting or textile or, as here, the pages of a book. » — Lillian Davies
