STATEMENT

Most recently, the collages from my “Dear Mr. Putin….” series combine drawing, and mixed media in a critique of the abuse of power by international politicians. I gather images from historic publications, contemporary tabloids, and the myriad of assorted printed matter to create provocative juxtapositions of time, place, and identity. The resulting, multi-layered visual letters/collages include texts, images, objects, and drawings as responses to the war in Ukraine.
