If the first thing you think of when you hear “collage” is cut and paste crafts from your yester years, you have some catching up to do. Collaging, or combining photos, to distort reality, simply create crazy images, and even make commentary, is becoming a popular form of art. And newsflash: You don’t have to go to a gallery to consume art. Just check your Instagram.
