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

I began making collages to get away from the computer and for the chance to think in different ways. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 5 hours to create one of my collages. I know when its done but sometimes searching for the right image, shape or colour can be difficult. The whole process takes my mind on a walk and is relaxing. I like that other people can look at my work and find their own meaning, I don’t need to tell a story every time.<\/p>\n

I mainly work with various publications, glue sticks, X-ACTO knives, India ink, paint, and odd surfaces like wood or discarded material. I’m aiming for a visual harmony with type, image, colour, texture and shape.<\/p>\n
