No artist is an island. Harnessing wide- ranging interests to create striking works unconfined by limitations, Joseph Cornell’s life and art are the inspiration behind Introspective Collective. Aspects of Cornell’s output- visual and lyrical poetics, collage, assemblage, found objects, and dance - provide a framework to show how the individual and the community interconnect to create art that can be reflective while contributing to discussions about societal concerns. Issues such as climate change and the Hurricane Maria disaster are addressed through diverse media including assemblage, letterpress, photography, sound art, and first- person narrative. Poetry broadsides on loan from The Center for Book Arts.
