I make abstract, sculptural collages using found and collected cardboard and book covers. I am interested in how these materials, in their simplicity, variety and wide abundance, can be cut and formed into quiet surfaces teeming with both geographical and emotional underpinnings. Referencing architecture, landscape and the topographical intersection of urban & natural environments, these constructions are 3-dimensional in form, coming off the wall in various layers suggesting odd terrains, infrastructures and skylines.
The intuitive process of cutting, sorting, applying and constructing this tactile
material is integral to its final form and implication. The restrained compositions and varying densities of these collages present a landscape of containment and a sense of buried history. These are roadmaps with no conclusive routes, aerial views of unattainable grounds. The dualities of growth and decay, building and razing, maintenance and destruction are all explored within these quiet peripheries.
