....i am interested in the spatial complexity and visual tensions that come from the collages being illusionistic, while at the same time composed of three-dimensional objects that often retain their own identity. drawing my subject matter from history and literature, i like the irony of using materials that are often trivial, foolish, and temporal to express ideas of what is significant, timeless and transcendent.
i must see these collages in person someday...amazing skills and patience...see more here.
