It could be argued that collage played a significant role at the beginning of modern art when Picasso and Braque started to assemble what they found in their studio on cardboard. They would meet almost every night to talk about their discoveries. This experimentation has inspired many artists since, and many more to come. 

Since collage has been an artistic tool to tell stories in a poetic form without emphasizing a specific event; It allows the viewer to find their own story. Furthermore, when printed images are torn, when textures confront, when artifacts are assembled together when ideas collide, there’s always something grandiose happening, the edification of a new world. It goes way beyond paper and ink, and I like it.
