Outside-the-Line Collective is a group of artists seeking to explore the interconnectedness of the way we perceive the world. Each image is divided into sections; each section is randomly given to a different artist; each artist then develops, in their studio, their interpretation of that section in a medium and style of their choosing, unaware of what the whole image is or what the other artists are doing. Once everyone is done we assemble the piece.

​Through this process we express both the interdependence and the individuality of our perceptions that contribute to the whole image. Each artist brings a history, a set of knowledge and experience, a story that becomes a part of the whole image. Through the overlapping of these stories a certain unity is developed. It also brings out the differences that bring a frictional dynamic to the piece. These differences can be unsettling, jarring, destabilizing, but its through these differences that we can be exposed to different relationships and ways of seeing.
