We’ve Been Here Before

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. I normally post JPEGs from a high resolution scanner at the shop where I get my prints made, but they’re […]

Other People Make Plans
Plans, paper collage, 2022 other people make plans other people linger on sidewalks counting nickels, stomping dead fish other people are telescopes make countries out of windshield wipers make self-portraits of empty clouds worship astronauts from 100 years ago the moon is flat, they say and so is my grandfather’s grave a landscape retained deep […]

Self-Portrait in Spring
Self-Portrait in Spring, paper collage, 2022 As I was preparing to post this collage and another one (which I’ve decided to publish at a later date, alongside a poem, methinks), I remembered that I made another Self-Portrait in Spring at this time last year. And how different it looks. I daresay, how far I’ve come […]

When We Face Ourselves in Daylight
Pieces No. 14, paper collage, 2022 Every human being has the freedom to change at any instant. Viktor Frankl even now an atom in the drowning sun a wilderness on its knees invokes a whisper as if to suggest absurdity is a prelude to happiness a woman underwater is an orchid without wings don’t be […]

House of Cards
House of Cards, mixed media collage, 2021 I’ve spent time over the past several days working with Victorian cabinet cards and found photographs. What I like most about this particular medium (aside from the fact that it’s inherently playful and fun) is the challenge. If you’re familiar with cabinet cards, you know they are Victorian-era […]
