I make collages
Is it dedication to a shape? The shape being a bundle, a sponge, a rat, a fleck, all the above? A shape that hangs from above, floats on by, on repeat. Is it madness to try and see a shape in different ways? Isn’t that what this is all about? Why we get up in the morning and go to sleep at night?
I make things through the process of collage, which for me is about exploring the feelings and contradictions of freedom and negation, desire and loss. The “nature” of collage is improbability. Things appearing improbable and at the same time an element of the “real” is there. Our minds do the rest. Our minds do the making up, filling in the gaps, making the connections. A constant reconciliation between the probable and the improbable. The process of this reconciliation is our improbable state of being and willing things into existence a whole world of “things”.
I like to make things by cutting up pictures and making new pictures.
