collaged

Made from scraps

Collaged describes something assembled from disparate pieces into a unified composition, like a collage.

The term applies literally to artwork made by pasting together photographs, clippings, or found materials: a collaged portrait from magazine cutouts.

It extends to anything pieced together from varied sources: The documentary had a collaged structure, mixing interviews with archival footage.
