I count among my influences cubism, abstract expressionism, the theories of Josef Albers, as well as the work of Matisse and the attitudes, especially, of Kurt Schwitters.
The collages are about the formally sympathetic collision of the paper-borne ephemera of different cultures; about form and color and the abstraction of language and torn edges and things made lovingly by hand and things churned out unthinkingly from machines and things found in the street, trash can or mailbox. And, they are about flat/non-flat and the flickering ambiguities of perceived space, and about how all of this converges to form an intuitive order in a small portion of the fractured world.
