STATEMENT

In my work I try to let the objects move always becoming something more than what they were when found when chosen when placed down. I am always trying to find a way into both myself and the world about.

BIO

M. Deragon is a collage artist/film composer/ambient music producer based in Los Angeles, California. His work is at once playful, dark and light, torn apart and precisely composed. Highly intrigued by the works of Max Ernst, Picasso, Joseph Cornell, Hannah Hoch among others.
