STATEMENT
My collages use newsprint “catchalls” as a jumping-off point. These are the paper drop cloths that catch unintentional marks and drips but also the ghosts of objects and paper shapes painted on top of them. Discarded newsprint, graphite marks, painted lines and unconscious marks, tracing paper scraps, and fragments of drawings become generative seeds for new works.
In each instance, faces, shapes, and materials are placed next to or on top of one another, asking, “what happens, who am I, what changes, when I land here?”
