My work is abundantly built and constructed on found papers and boards often worked from back to front and from side to side. There are often scraps sandwiched into one another, compacted and making each form totally invented through the studio process. This series is built from excesses, debris, and is always seeking to make its own “Frankenstein”.
Images grow from travels on the Blue Line of the "L", walks through Schiller Woods South and the Belmont Craigin area of Chicago. These places with flowers, mushrooms, moss covered logs, styrofoam, and 2x2's, inform every texture and story compressed into a larger history, becoming one object built from a city that insists on doing everything at once. We are all moving so quickly and picking up pieces of meaning to construct something more tangible than the constant act of rushing through our daily routines.
