New Collage: Portfolio
These are my most recent photo collages. They were photographed in the last weeks of December, 2023, and constructed in the months that followed. At this time of year, the sun is at its lowest point in the horizon - just barely peeking above the tree tops.
The light is frontal, cold weather clear, and color rich.

All the the photo collages on this page are archival, dye-sub, digital prints on non- PVC polyethylene. Polyethylene is a fabric-like plastic substrate. When hung slightly away from the wall, this soft pliable material is free to move and flow, yet holds its shape. Hanging loose and intentionally unframed, the works are both engaging images as well as colorful objects.

I start from points of curiosity. One of the main reasons for making something is to reveal what it may be at heart center.
I want to be surprised and inspired by the energy of discovery.
