A Device to Separate Vapors, 2022

hand-cut paper collage, recycled paperboard

8.5 x 5.5 inches

My work is a constantly evolving exploration of experience and emotion through the reconstitution and rearranging of various printed media and ephemera. It is a broader approach to thinking and moving throughout the world — by prioritizing what is found, discarded, and left behind, I explore the intersections & interactions between context, materiality, and creativity. Collage is part of a transformative creative ecosystem that rethinks the act of sharing, reframes the concept of value, and explores boundlessness and connection. An abstracted textual grouping creates a tangle of negative space over a textured field of reds, violets, creams, and grays with a slight shock of blue. A balance of intuitive abstraction with the precision of numbers and letters, exploring the tension and interconnectedness between what we consider emotional and rational.
