Photo-Montage Worlds
from paper/glue to digital photography, & explorations in between
from paper/glue to digital photography, & explorations in between
I assemble, juxtapose or superimpose diverse elements, all in the service of creating a unified composition ~ a brand new whole, not fractured, but in it’s own logic: complete.
It is my goal to present a glimpse into another world – one made of these disparate elements, but all of them working to attain a kind of seamless essence.
This symphonic aesthetic has applied for me whether I was using three-dimensional materials, digital images, sound or film.
In over four decades of creation and innovation, my curiosity and need to fit disparate elements into a cohesive, magical whole continue to reveal to me windows and doors where others only see bare walls.
