A curation by Natalie Slater, Art Agent at Snap Collective - This curation brings together artists working with Victorian imagery through collage — portraiture, botanicals, ornament, archival print.
Each approaches the material differently. Some maintain the original symmetry, inserting subtle interruptions. Others dismantle the composition, layering fragments, paint, and text into denser constructions. In certain works, intervention is minimal — a shift in scale, a single obstruction. In others, ornament builds outward, compressing the frame.
What holds the curation together is the handling of source. The historical image remains visible, but it is no longer intact. Seams show. Edges overlap. Authority is redistributed through placement.
Collage here is not decorative. It is structural.
Images are assembled, not inherited.
