Inner Dialogue Collage

This collage contains pieces of original works, prints of original works, and found images adhered to mat board using mounting tape. Each hexagon is one inch wide. A white 11x14 inch mat is included for framing. By using uniform pieces to create a flow of color, this collage blurs the line between structure and fluidity. This mirrors the dual nature of hexagons themselves which appear highly structured individually, yet join together in an unmistakably organic way. This piece is also a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things. Each hexagon, although a separate entity with its own origins and details, is a part of the whole and directly affects those around it as well as the overall outcome. Constructing my collages began as an act of self-reflection. It served as a way for me to focus on my favorite portions of past paintings, place them into new contexts, and analyze the common elements in my works (mainly color, balance, symmetry, and appreciation of detail). This piece also includes portions of photographs and found images that inspire me, making it a visual representation of how I see the world.
