I’ve  become captivated with the process of collage. I’ve incorporated recycled materials such as 35-millimeter negatives along with scanned and reprocessed images of my ancestors. I have included digital images of everyday objects from my life such as a marble, a tin horse, foliage and flowers from my garden. The creative experience of assembling these works is enhanced by the story telling aspect. To circumvent copyright infringement issues I’ve elected to create all my own media printed in the archival inkjet process to ensure longevity against fading.
