STATEMENT

For me to make collage is to sculpt with time, using pieces from the past to create something in the present. I am attempting to make a physical form of the intangible. I am exploring the invisible, feelings, ideas and the motivations behind the things around us. I am always searching and exploring in an attempt to surprise both myself and in turn the viewer.

My work is philosophical in its exploration and abstract in its application. I try to capture the changes within whether it is self-growth, a moment of intuition or the instant when an idea sparks. I am capturing inner combustion.

My journey is deconstruction and reconstruction, using forgotten pieces to create memories that never were.
