Statement

Collage provides the closest language to describe how I work– meandering, omnidirectional, combinational – somewhere between image and object. More than anything, it expresses a practice that is fundamentally relational. It tints the world around me with a creative uncertainty where all things are on the verge of radiance. Embracing this, I think, allows the found images and objects in my work to find me. When I get it right, formal qualities are in dialogue with mystery. Collage is always on the verge of alchemy. Reality continuously composes itself of the countless encounters of countless entities, making every moment completely new. This absolute contingency is the basis of my hope.
