About The Artwork

When I first stared doing visual art I kept notebooks which through the years have yellowed with age. I decided to go through them and take photos of the visually interesting pages and from that came my collage Screenshots And Notebooks. The initial photos went through many iterations from taking screenshots of the photos to cutting and pasting in Photoshop. I combined that with closeup shots of a previous work and put them through the same process, finally altering them even more by gently rubbing the paper and adding watercolor and pigment ink. I never get tired of taking an initial image and putting it through many processes until the point before it becomes visually meaningless. For me it is the point right before the figurative gets wiped out. You can hang this collage from the wood frame.

Because life is full of contradictions and unpredictable, organic and spontaneous, I wanted an art form that reflects all the mess and beauty of living. After trial and error and endless experimentation I have found creating collages, with an occasional painting thrown in, to be the perfect form. I can take disparate elements and create a delicate harmony with all the different pieces playing off of each other, some going off the frame extending the boundaries into space three dimensionally, a cross between painting and sculpture. For a number of years I left visual art to become a maker of functional pottery as I felt it terribly important that people have objects for everyday use that are beautiful. The natural spontaneity I needed to create pottery, as the pliability of the clay is in constant flux, naturally led me to collage for I find that they are best when created organically and spontaneously and then later refined. Ultimately, creating functional pottery became too limiting and I needed a form where there were greater possibilities. As an artist living in NYC I am thoroughly influenced by the rhythm of the city and all the craziness that goes with millions of people jostling each other in the streets and sidewalks trying to negotiate construction and everything else that comes with living in a large metropolitan area. How do humans come to terms with such chaos? And yet there is an underlying harmony. And here I am back to making collages with all the physical and philosophical dancing that goes along in creating them. I love the dynamics, the underlying structure and the color and texture that add to the whole. And most importantly the human element, the figurative that spurs an association, a feeling, a thought, an identification. I have fallen in love with certain figures that I use again and again like the flower so poignantly struggling to maintain its beauty in a world that is trying to bring it down, much like the human coming to terms with day to day life and finding a greater meaning in that life-flower as a reflection of the human. The visual form of language is also an endless fascination for me which I constantly incorporate into my work.
