Edge
Edge, paper collage, 2022 a phone booth; a field of fireflies what we choose to leave; what leaves us writes, “to transcend the frail bonds of consciousness” the proximity of remorse the rancor of an unworn pair of shoes I’m very much enjoying the process of making poetry and collage together.

Barely Kissed & Other Art
Barely Kissed, paper collage, 2022 I’ve been experimenting lately with scraps and colored backgrounds. I’ve also, as you’ll note below, been working on some landscapes, which are a bit different for me.

Individuals range in length from 2.8-3.5 in (7-9cm) and weigh approximately 0.1-0.2oz (2-6 g). They migrate to Central America […]

Philosophical Conversations
I set aside some time this afternoon for my collage practice, but unfortunately not much came out of it. I suspect the fact that I was working outside and trying to photograph some Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at the same time had something to do with that. But, I digress. I made “Philosophical Conversations” a few days […]
