Statement:

Collage is an art medium that inherently links the past to the present, always being an invention from one art form transforming itself from time and place. When Picasso began sticking together found objects to his paintings in the early part of the last century, who knew the literal cutting and pasting would evolve into the virtual world of photoshop magic.   Through the years collage has been used to explore architecture. From Le Corbusier and the constructivists to Bernhard Hoesli and Colin Rowe, collage has been used as a tool to explore and teach ideas of transparency and three dimensional space. Although collage has transformed into other subsets of assemblage, bricolage, and montage, the medium always retained its heart of being a starting point to an unknown end, a beginning.

Shapeshifters

Is it a painting? Is it a sculpture? An artist’s book? A miniature screen? Shapeshifters are one-
of-a-kind folding artworks designed to create a small space in which to let your imagination
roam free. In Shapeshifters I play with expansion and contraction and differing viewpoints, as
well as offering the possibility of interaction by the viewer. The folding format alludes to the
unfolding of time and space and offers the potential of change and new vision. Shapeshifters
are constructed from museum board with mulberry paper hinges. The acrylic paint is applied
in layers to create depth and luminosity. Meditative, expansive, reminiscent of many eras, each
Shapeshifter is a unique artwork, a place to rest and let your mind wander.
