MY STORY
I create mixed-media collage by hand in my Chicago studio, using printed ephemera like fragments of magazines, books, manuals, photos, and documents that carry the memory of their own histories. The vast majority have collected both dust and time. Each fragment is a trace of lived experience: a visual memory that I'm privileged to discover and re-imagine.
​
In my work, these fragments do more than coexist. They construct a new reality. Through the act of cutting and reassembling, I bring disparate elements into unexpected juxtapositions, creating compositions where time is non-linear; where past and present overlap and collide. The materials themselves act as a kind of time machine, creating a history and narrative while inviting the viewer into a layered field of space and perception.
​
My collages exist at the intersection of memory, geometry, and emotion. The physical nature of paper and printed matter — the edges, typography, worn surfaces — becomes part of the visual language. Shapes float and intersect, planes break and realign, creating spaces that feel both architectural and psychological. The created works invite further investigation: moments of intuition, tension, humor, and introspection that emerge without explanation.
​
Ultimately, my art seeks to evoke a sense of memory made visible. A conversation between fragments of lived experience and the viewer’s own internal narratives. Through this layered process, I build images that, like dreams, are both familiar and enigmatic.
