A portfolio of Swiss-born artist Linda Bernhard appears in Kolaj #16. Her collage illustrates the muted power of minimalist collage and how line and composition can manifest emotionality.

KOLAJ #16
"With collage, one might argue that collaboration is naturally part of the process, that the use of source materials is a passive collaboration with the original creators. Artists select pieces that speak to them and in doing so they are collaborating with the photographer, designer, or editor that produced the materials. Once selected, glued, cut, torn, sanded and put on display in a physical gallery or shared online, a collaboration with the rest of the world occurs."
from “How I Became a Collaborator: How a Collage Artist Found Community” by Zach Collins
