“Coping with Reality” is an exhibition of mixed media collage work by Burlington artist Ashley Roark. In this new series, Roark explores paper as a place holder for memories and uses the act of creating as a meditation. Her collage utilizes vintage paper that features muted tones, textures, and typography. She layers these assemblages, until the objects achieve a desired harmony, striking a balance between structure and chaos. Through this process, Roark liberates the objects from their intended purpose and invites the viewer to dissect each part of the piece.
