“I started making these simple hand-made collages as a sort of luddite reaction to working as a graphic artist on computers for many years. I like the limitations of collage...using found imagery and a pair of scissors, there are no Photoshop options to resize, adjust colors or undo.
My collages work to a basic rule of sourcing just two or three images... with these I can reinvent the original scene to communicate a new idea.”
