Assemblages by
Dale Copeland
Friday 13 August – Sunday 19 September
EXTENDED SEASON
GALLERY 2
Assemblage and collage artist Dale Copeland shares some of her favourites from her collection of ‘goodies’.
As well as a cluster of Dale’s recent assemblages (philosophical ramblings in solid form), the walls of the side gallery will be plastered with international collages. Hundreds of them!
In the late 1990s, Copeland created the International Collage Exhibition and Exchange art show.
This is Dale’s collection from 20 years of organising the International Collage Exchange.
All for sale. Dale reckons it could be a bit of a stampede, as gallery-goers are welcome to take down the ones they want (before anyone else can choose them) and take their collection to the office to buy.
Artwork: One of the collages from Copeland’s collection that will be offered for sale.
