This book presents a series of collages created through the direct method of cutting, pasting and taping. The way that I interact with photography begins with making pictures of things and then I make things from my prints.



Responding to the complexities of perception, I employ a camera to capture raw material and what I initially see through the lens continues to transform. I draw with scissors. Collage is destruction and construction, a simultaneous collapsing of time, space and place.



These tangled inventions overlap and intersect, upending expectations of foreground, background, object, subject and motion. The fragments generated are joined into a matrix of shifting planes and disorienting scale relationships, which move between collisions of recognition and abstraction.



Chains of complicated interactions shift from subtle to extreme throughout the topography of the spliced, woven and pieced together collages. The physicality of these layered works activates opportunities for compelling paths of visual explorations through the fabric of my collages and taps into our intuitive abilities to entertain multiple narratives.
