"Collage is more than just an art style. Collage is all about bringing different elements together. Once you form a sensibility about connection, how different elements relate to each other, you deepen your understanding of yourself and others."
Bryan Collier
THEMES in collier's work
"A collage is like this wonderful metafor for life...Every moment of our life is like a piece of a puzzle, and has its own unique shape and size to it. And we don't really know what it means until later on."

“In my art and in my life I’m looking for the thread that connects all of us and I’m looking for that seed of individuality.”
