an approach that includes art mediums
I heard that the perception of assemblage art has not moved far from its initial mindset and that maybe this is why various artists and observers choose to identify assemblage work as sculpture, or construction, or simply conceptual thought. I sometimes agree with that thinking but would like to see the method described in other ways. It's not hard to recognize that the noticeable interpretations of assemblage art are incomplete and that the form is constantly evolving within a collaboration of parts and conditions. Assemblage is generally considered the practice of combining ideas and materials to create three dimensional form. Expanding from that, I believe that almost any art medium can naturally connect to the art of assemblage and when linked those associations adopt new identities. Mechanically, this place describes some of those connections as mediums integrated through linear reduction, and visually it is about associating and unifying the art types I work with under a single umbrella. My approach chooses to identify sculpture, photography, printmaking, film, and assemblage, with assemblage.
