Collage is an act of discovery- an intuitive excavation of meaning  through fragments of imagery, texture, and form. It starts with a few  words or an idea that are reflected in selected images that have been  collected over time. As I place, layer, and weave these elements  together, unexpected relationships emerge, guiding me toward new  perspectives.

In many ways the process mirrors the way of the world - a layered  construct of meaning where different perspectives shape our  understanding. Some of these layers are uncovered through direct  experience and experimentation, while others exist only in dreams and  speculation. Collage, with its ability to build, obscure, and reveal  through tearing, marking, and weaving, is uniquely suited to exploring  these complexities. It allows multiple narratives to exist  simultaneously, inviting the viewer to engage with the work to assemble  and deconstruct meaning in their own way.
