Arts Mashing: Creating Unimagined Compositions with @csallquist

“I couldn’t shake the feeling that I wasn’t doing what I’m meant to do,” recalls Chris Sallquist (@csallquist), a Seattle-based editorial director, of his life 10 years ago. A late-night experiment of warping and bending a magazine cover eventually evolved into what he calls “Arts Mashing” – a style of collaging where he mashes up photographs on his smartphone. Now, Chris says he finally feels like he’s doing what he’s supposed to: Making art.

Chris generally starts his process by looking for an evocative portrait. “Then I search for a secondary image that transforms the person into someone else,” he says. “Each piece reveals the unseen stories that lurk beneath the beautiful façade of the people featured in fashion magazines across cultures. These stories have always been there, but no one has revealed them until now.”
