Description of the Artist’s Process and Nature of the Works:

These works open a new avenue in the realm of contemporary collage. Situating himself between media by fusing traditional analog collage with assemblage and digital photography, Kincaid creates his own realm of creative exploration and a new process of questioning identity. He begins by lyrically cutting and arranging photographs from books, magazines, and other material that he finds, carefully by hand. Then, rather than glueing down the compositions he captures high quality photographs of each distilled moment. The use of photography allows for unique natural lighting and shadow effects to be used that not typically found in collage work. For some works Kincaid uses a light table to let the layers of images bleed through one another. This process also has a conceptual foundation. When questioned about his process Kincaid said,

“By allowing the cutouts to maintain their freedom, unbound to the page or any particular given context, each cutout is allowed the same flexibility of identity and evolution of self discovery that we partake in within our daily lives. It is a reminder to me that I don’t have to stay fixed to or confined by the projections cast upon me and the implications they may have on my understanding of self. It also keeps me keep to not have fixed perceptions of others around me. As we journey through life we grow and change, our understanding of our identities constantly in flux. I wanted the process of my work to mimic this cyclical process in life. The cut outs are free like us, to change and evolve over time and contexts with new knowledge and experiences. Each print is like a memory in the life of one ever-evolving continually New Collage, thus the name NewCollage. Its an invitation to participate observantly in the praxis of cultivating our evolution.”

Each Piece has its own layers of personal meaning to the artist but are open to interpretation by the viewer. Inviting us all to share a window into simultaneously collective and uniquely individual worlds. The playful and provocative titles make room for viewers to enter a number of thoughts and conversations to these points Kincaid adds,

“I like for people to have their own experience with the work outside of my personal understanding, the “art” for me is in the process and the reflection, the prints are like mile markers in the desert for me. They become like memories, or dreams, or memories of dreams and in that way they become mirrors or self portraits. For the audience they become entry point into their own self exploration. Within this construct we are allowed to share dialogue around our overlapping worlds and experiences seeing each other as mirrors into ourselves and new realms of possibility”
