I have always been interested in making sense of things, pulling in different perspectives and different strands of understanding to create a clearer picture of the world.
I just have that kind of mind I guess. Collage has always drawn me in because of that, and because it's got this kind of magic to it. You discover things out in the world, you find yourself noticing details more, develop an appreciation for fragments of experience, and become a kind of a visual seeker. I have found collage to be a beautiful artform, but also a wonderful way of understanding the world, and myself more deeply.
