Collage Art

The space between the conscious and subconscious mind is a space that can be bridged to open a wider perception of reality. With my collage work, I use images that create a space of familiarity and distort them to create a world of new mythologies. My collage rituals come from the pure impulse to create. Through collage I attempt to express the inexpressible through found images and intentions. The ritual of stream of consciousness is a meditative practice. In dream-like states I let my emotions and thoughts take over. Each piece I create is a mental puzzle helping me hold the mirror to my inner worlds.
