“Mood Ring” is a merging of multi-media collage works by Portland-based artists Katherine Spinella and Morgan Rosskopf. Friends and collaborators for over a decade, the artists share a desire to integrate their independent, process-driven works and cultivate new experiences through cross-pollination. Taking a free-associative approach to making, Spinella and Rosskopf disrupt image and material hierarchies to antagonize assumptions about our heavily fragmented and constructed realities. By conflating a variety of impulses, these fractured, layered, and codified signs speak to the frenetic energy of contemporary life. Using the modality of collage as an infrastructural guide to making, their works transport the refuse of commerce and daily life into a poetic abstraction that emerges between the seams of representation. Mood Ring is an ecosystem of deconstructed symbols amassed in a process of renewal-based gestures that make space for something new to occur.
