2022

As a Minnesota artist and photographer for the last 20 years, I have made thousands of images and hundreds of printed proofs of my work that weren’t quite good enough. I couldn’t just recycle all those proofs, so I saved them. In the past few years I have begun reconstructing these imperfect photos and found imagery and creating new collage work with them. This work is often small, 5×7 in size and often inspired by someone in my life who I made it for and shared it with, keeping a digital copy for myself.
