Umwelt Colliders

Above: Umwelt Colliders, numbers 1 through 6, 2024. Hand-cut collages, on archival cotton rag paper, framed behind museum glass. ~ 10 inches x 10 inches.

Collage has long been on the periphery of my practice—a method I feel deeply connected to both visually and sonically. Recently, my photographic and collage techniques have begun to intertwine, allowing me to reconfigure and remix my photographic archive. The collage works compress time and place into singular compositions, satisfying my urge to create in shorter bursts and produce work closer to the moment of impulse.
