Strange Brew & Other Art
Strange Brew, paper collage, 2022 I mentioned in my last post that I’ve been missing the surreal/pop art style collages I was making about a year ago. So, I started some new compositions in that style earlier this week. Strange Brew and Wanderlust are complete, and I have two (maybe three) in progress. Strange Brew […]

Minimal Spaces (Big Worlds)
Horizon, paper collage, 2022 Lately, I’ve really been missing the surreal/pop art style collages I used to make. So, I spent time yesterday working on a few really fun compositions that I hope to share soon. I love working with strange objects, vibrant colors, and quirky landscapes, but it’s certainly not what I would describe […]

Birds & Blooms
Brown Thrasher I thought I’d share some photos from the garden. As far as birds go, I have a terrible backlog of photographs to share. Here, I chose to focus on jays, finches, and a few other species, like the Brown Thrasher above, who I either haven’t shared or haven’t shared much of in awhile. […]

Command Performance & Other Art
Command Performance, collage on vintage postcard, 2022 I had a lot of fun making this batch of artwork. Command Performance and Germinate are my two favorites. I actually like Command Performance so much I am gifting the original (prints are available). Germinate took awhile to make. It began as an attempt to utilize the half-beetle […]

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. And it is, I […]

Input & Output
Hibiscus Flower I’d like to begin this post with a short apology. (I was hoping not to have to write an introduction like this, but I am afraid certain things can’t be helped.) At the end of April, I left home for a few weeks of traveling. In terms of the blog, I had planned […]

If I Told You
the algorithm of a snail the reservoir of apple-colored streets that sleeps inside a poem this poem that combs its hair on a diagonal of stars and reconstructs the imaginary language of a blue dress, of a butterfly on the small of my back, of your hands like a fatal half moon detached from all […]

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds
I’ve been enjoying photographing the hummingbirds lately–or trying, as both their size and speed pose some inherent challenges. For those who aren’t familiar, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the most common species of hummingbird in eastern North America. 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 […]
