Rearranging reality: salvaged everyday papers are reimagined / recycled by bringing fragments together to compose entirely new imagery.
MessageCollection: ThroughLines
Recurring issues can confront and confound us, occupying our thoughts. Technology distracts us with incoming stimulation. Daydreams intrude... These collages are visual riffs on all that we carry within: explorations of the processes in our minds as we address issues of bandwidth, multitasking and overwhelm—alongside goals of simplicity, mindfulness and purpose. Each collage represents a moment in time, full of multi-layered and competing thoughts, hopes, fears, dreams, and memories—all moving forward and influencing each other—glimpses of the landscape of my mind. The collages are made from ripped strips of contemporary repurposed paper using a wet working technique. Unseen in photo, some paper elements also wrap around the black painted edges of the wood panel.
