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 […]

We’ve Been Here Before
We’ve Been Here Before, mixed media collage, 2022 all of these words; none of these words the promise of motion, the expectation of form a window is severed a note written in pencil, half-erased: i wish to exit the anthill less is almost always less the moon, these days, is extravagantly long a head, but […]

Knower and Known
Knower and Known, paper collage, 2022 My latest experiment in collage art, “Knower and Known.” On the whole, I’m satisfied with this collage, but I am fretting slightly over the quality of the image here.

And how different it looks. I daresay, how far I’ve come […]

The Rule of Touch
The Rule of Touch, mixed media collage, 2022 we are destroyed by what is possible the first rule: hands and only hands are an eternal source of lightning they’ll show you themselves the line that traces your chin from one button to another one is naïve one blossoms like a moth torn from a paintbrush […]

It Has Come to This
Pieces No. 13, paper collage, 2022 and in the end, there is only this mysterious absence fitful as a question-mark: an apple core, a fishing wire—a note to myself all that you love is waiting on the other side of paradise a form in the mirror the wheels have turned cold a symphony outran itself […]

Much Less Rarely Spoke to Me
Much Less Rarely Spoke to Me, paper collage, 2022 nothing belongs to anything else your hands aren’t where they used to be your legs made of bridges a quartet, a coffee table your mind is a paperweight an infantile moon bending its eyes to the wilderness …but the number 13 a swan on its ankles […]
