Paper collage has a long history of being an accessible tool of agitprop, observation and self-soothing. The form is enjoying a worldwide renaissance thanks to a hunger for expression rooted in physical materials and face-to-face interactions. These Portland artists push the boundaries of the form as they address the chaos of the moment in various ways.
