Collage is a medium I use to make sense out of
these fragmented times we live in:
I want to know more about how to find spirituality
in a world where people are constantly at odds over who has the
goods on God. I want to know more about how to find a sense of
humor in an era when predators are regularly become celebrities.
I want to understand more about how the commodification of daily
life works, and how to escape a corporate fate when someone is
always on the make to sell us something, no matter how broke or
broken we may be. I want to understand something about innate
perseverance, and just how it is that we keep going every day,
despite the barrage of information and advertising all around
us.
The questions are big & the answers are complicated.
In the pages of commercial magazines & catalogues, one finds
a mirror of our world - a nascent century full of the things that
scare us, the things that comfort us, & things to buy. I hope
that by cutting apart these images & rearranging them, I can
find a little handful of optimism, & reflect it back, show
a better side of the story, maybe even tell a little joke…
