This year has been an astounding year with travels and a residency at the Tenjinyamo Art Center in Sapporo Japan. My first online show presented here are 12 of the 25 small free hanging collages I created during my residency. These were completed during a two week period of time in Sapporo Japan using found materials from my daily exploration in and around Sapporo. The theme I created for a basis of my work was while I was exploring Shinto Shrines and Buddhist temples. I compared how people in Japanese society used their cell phones to fulfill a lot of the traditional spaces in their lives that temples and shrines filled in fulfillment of relationships with a spiritual and community life. It was at best a loose set of parameters......
