Personal Expression: Tactile Collages...

Art forms. Appropriation. Mash-ups. Reinterpretation. Reiteration.  Collages are all of these and an art form that I find intruiging.

Jason Mercier calls himself a mosaic portrait artist and has produced portraits using found things.  The tactile nature of these portraits makes you want to reach out and touch them.  His work has been published in major publications, such as this one, left, published as the illustration for a NYTimes article about the mind.

NYTimes has an interesting slide show on dorm room doors (slide show is at the side of the article), a canvas of personal expression that is a real-life portal to the lives of college students that is in opposition to the online personal pages presented through facebook.

At Texas colleges the dorms are decorated with sorority stuff.
