Dancing with scissors: collage as visual design scholarship

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Collage is a formal art genre, a medium of expression and communication, and a teaching tool. But what is the potential of collage as a methodological process in visual design scholarship? This article provides theoretical and practical frameworks for ‘design scholarship through collage’ and ‘collage as design scholarship’ through historical precedent, heuristic practice and examples of four collage projects by two practitioners of the medium. The works demonstrate a hybrid form of visual design scholarship.
