Collage has always been an aspect of my art practice. The collages are made of painted square elements composed in a grid. The random drips, marks, and forms, as well as the paper pieces, come together to form a loosely systematic arrangement of both disconnections and connections. The grid is a formal device that I enjoy using in endless permutations. All of these were made during the pandemic when we all struggled with isolation, fear, anxiety, and disconnection while longing for connection and contact.
