My goal with each collage is to piece together disparate elements; stripping shapes, textures, symbols and colors of their original contexts and meanings to reveal a new story and unexpected resonance. Each abstract collage is assembled on vintage construction paper, instilling each piece with the analog warmth of a well-worn cassette or a Nana-made afghan.
