Influenced by a foundation in visual design, my collage artwork has layers of aesthetic complexity and alludes to the medium's history as a modern art. I restrict my traditional handcrafted process to the use of recycled or trashed materials, even litter, and I avoid dissecting publications that remain useful. Anything cast off has the potential to be reinvigorated and infused with new meaning. I am increasingly interested in the potential of collage for representational art and the fusion of formal structure with pure spontaneity. Direct observation and “en plein air” practice has enabled my work to be intuitive in development. The results derive more from creative impulse than rational forethought, almost like improvisational music. Collage is ideally suited to individual interpretations and offers a universal experience for observers. I’m gratified when others share in this sense of receptivity and pure discovery.
