I am a multi -media artist that understands collage to be a ritual reflecting characteristics of the 21st century. The use of sampling in music making, the sharing of internet information, the ferocious cross -cutting techniques used in contemporary film media, dances that change tempos in a flash ….I know these things as extensions of collage. While living at the convergence of climate change, pandemic, unfettered racism, and economic upheaval (for everyday working people), these are times of confusion, courage, ignorance, remarkable feats humanity and dispirited unconstrained greed, I am offering a lift for the spirit. My compositions jut out in all directions which demonstrates my determination to refuse spirit to be contained. Through this work I seek agency and boundlessness for the most beautiful aspects of being human.
