TUESDAY 22 | Artist Chath pierSath, by way of self exploration, stitches together magazine clippings and his own intimate writings in a series of unusual collages. Each serves as a personal message to his family, to Cambodia, to warmongers and their victims. Says Java founder Dana Langlois: “The words are written, re-written, painted over and layered with prose and imagery, creating complex pieces that exist at the intersection literature and painting.” You can even take part in the creation of a ‘collaborative poem’ by adding your own words and phrases to one of the gallery walls.
