Work By Ian McHale
Botanica Grove, Brooklyn, NY

Exhibition Dates: December 12, 2025– January 12, 2026
Opening Reception: December 12th, 2025 | 6–8 PM

A selection of collages by Ian McHale from June through September 2025. Starting in January 2025, Ian began a daily collage on a 3.5” x 5.5” page in a bound journal. Each day has its own page and each month its own journal. This exhibit features 122 collages out of his current 346. By the end of 2025, he will have 365 collages and 12 journals.

Ian is inspired by the trash and everyday materials that are a part of our daily lives. From post no bills walls to cardboard boxes, he found a rhythm of different textures and materials throughout the city.

What began as a challenge to push his art form has become a personal journal documenting his past year. Cataloging where he found the trash and why it caught his eye it has become an opportunity to reflect on what was inspiring him.

While this exhibit is a small selection of his work, Ian is planning an exhibit to showcase his full series for 2025.
