Art Exhibit: Collages by Bill Wolak
Collages
by Bill Wolak
Artist Statement
“Collage undresses the darkness with a mirror’s secret undertow.
It’s a dance done on burning kites while dreaming at the speed of light.
Expectant as nakedness, collage is a door that surfaces
in the shipwreck of your sleep. It’s a caress with the
irresistibile softness of a slipknot in a velvet blindfold.
At its best, like poetry, collage is a moan just beyond delirium.
I make collages out of all kinds of materials.
Most are made out of paper engravings.
Many collages are digitally generated or enhanced.
