STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collage unites a great part of what I love in my life–photography, collecting, paper. My photos of sky and headstones along with collected images of another time give names and stories, often with a humour darkly, to faces of women and children unknown.<\/p>\n

The scraps, too, take on form. The collage fragments speak of colour, composition and challenge. I prefer to work in small format, often in series along with the texture of traditional cut\/paste.<\/p>\n

This art form allows me to place myself or anyone wherever I choose and takes me to the place I love most which is one of solitude.<\/p>\n
