- The visibly chaotic collage in all of my work is muted by a solid pattern creating a narrative about the place or event. Flat forms in shallow spaces are used as veils to conceal parts of the narrative. The fragmented imagery in the background relates to memories, and how over time some of the details are lost. The viewer must sift through the images to compose a narrative. For me, my architectural and natural surroundings mixed with cultural icons lead me to create an experience through forms and collage. My work is very personal, but I want the culture of the place or event to come through in the visual experience of the piece. The forms I use, whether natural or architectural, derive from my everyday environment.
