Piecing You Together
Collage art is a prominent motif in Piecing Me Together. As a collage artist, Jade stitches together ephemera from her daily life to create the most realistic, authentic portrait of herself with multimedia materials that reflect her own unique experience. The materials from which she draws are often disparate objects that aren’t readily perceived as “art.” What’s more, the objects do not always go together—for example, one of Jade’s collages could make use of a Portland city bus schedule as well as art photographs that Jade took herself. To Jade, collaging means creating a whole picture of parts that are not necessarily congruent and/or complementary. In this way, collaging is Jade’s way of understanding and being true to her fragmented identity, as well as uplifting and beautifying everyday objects that might not be perceived as beautiful.
