Well, the rather embarrassingly mundane impetus for the word
was the conundrum of how to describe these "things" that I
recently created in order to help others clean toilet bowls.

Are those "things" (created for alt.home.repair earlier this
week), duly named collages, montages, or mosaics?

No.

What you see is the USA being flushed down the toilet.

You could call them "composites".

I would say that those are a montage.
They are individual photographs arranged on a background. They are not
arranged to create another image from parts of each as I would expect
in a collage. They are not laid out tile-like to form a pattern or
image as one might expect with a mosaic construction.

To me - an former photographer - they are montages because they form a
continuous whole.

If I printed each image individually and pasted them up they would be a
collage. It is a continuous whole but made of obviously separate elements
which could be separated into individual elements again.

If I made tiles of various sizes, shapes and colors and formed them into
your image I would call it a mosaic.

A collage is a group of images (such as pieces of colored paper) arranged on a
background (such as a piece of drawing paper or a canvas). Once the collage
is made, it stays the same. Montage is a film or movie term and is a
succession of images that change over time. That's the basic difference
between collage and montage... . . .
