Each collage is a seed of thought. They are intimate in their scale and emotive qualities. The compositions I create are miniature stand-ins for my thoughts on the existential and natural. Images are disjointed; incorporating views of nature, industry and large swatches of color poetically arranged into nostalgic reflections. This specific collage was created from an old Contact Sheet that I was given while living in Oregon.
