Shape Shifters: A Retrospective of Australian Collage

Curated by Angie Cass, Shape Shifters examines how the use of re-purposed materials, concepts and subjects have evolved within an Australian context. Many artists, beginning in the early twentieth century, have manipulated their images with adjuncts to do many things: to correct drawings, to play with composition, to decorate, and to make social and political comment.
