STATEMENT

What collage does incredibly well, often in testing times, is provide an unbridled form of expression and much needed protest. I love the playfulness and liberty of free association, testing what is and what might be. Using close to hand, often discarded materials and tearing away assumptions is part of the process. What excites me most about this artform is the sense of possibility, in the outer world and within oneself.
