A Process Note
I create everything practically and I quite like the physical experience of cutting, ripping, and erasing. Much of my source material comes from vintage books, maps, and magazines. I like pairing the older, delicate pages with newer, heavier weights and textures. I glue nothing down but rather assemble. This allows me to play with shadows and bring dimension into each piece. Once photographed, the pieces are completely disassembled. A fleeting poem, learning to fly. The individual poem titles are: “The Time,” “Look Alive,” “Life Rafts,” “Call Waiting,” “Cake?” and “Glitchy”
