ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This artwork was created by making associations between the thousands of images I've collected from old books and magazines. As an advertising creative director, old product ads have always fascinated me, with their lush product imagery and sometimes outrageous claims. I've had this big red toothbrush staring at me for a while, and one night in my studio I mashed it up with the old power drill and loved the combination. Relatively quickly, a rube goldberg of sorts formed in my head, and I found the other parts to make it work. An iconic car battery-powered toothbrush was the result, and it made so much sense to me. The ageless and sometimes ridiculous idea of personal beauty promised in advertising comes through loud and clear for me in this piece.

I create works in collage by hand from my Chicago studio, utilizing ephemera from old magazines, books, manuals, and photos as well as documents from my late aunt's south Louisiana insurance agency. The eclectic nature of old books, brochures, images and documents that reveal the passage of time, help to inform my work. These bits and pieces that have been stuck in the dark, aging on shelves and collecting dust, are uncovered and combined, giving them new life. With them I create works that travel through decades past, present and future. This handmade, layered time travel serves as a central theme in my work. I meticulously create my art using cut and glued bits of paper to construct a new reality.
