My collages are made from the paper that passes through our hands every day. In addition to catalogues, junk mail, magazines, and the innards of envelopes, I use my own hand painted and hand marbled paper, and hunt for unusual ephemera. I’m also a writer, so my collages tell stories. A monkey and a beautiful woman change places; A princess paddles a canoe through the woods; A mermaid cuts off her tail to save her son. The world is a strange place. I cut it up and put it back together again.
