My practice utilizes the processes of collage, painting, and drawing, inspired and created from pages and covers salvaged from institutional (organic) or unwanted (dead) archives. Its journey through translation, reproduction, and dissemination and my knowledge of the history of printed processes informs the selection and application of this collected ephemera.

Past projects have explored the shared commonalities of language and methodology between the artist and the architect through the use of collage. Viewing the book as an architectonic object led to several series exploring themes of fictional landscapes and unrealized architectural schemes.

An old volume on the National Gallery, that had been stripped of its tipped-in reproductions of artworks was the catalyst to omit overt imagery, instead focusing on the fragments and corners of images, the marginal spaces of pages, and the silent endpapers of books, the leftovers. This blank material is applied as multi-layered grids and apertures, drawn and cut-through, to create a spatial dissonance exploring the intricate and overwhelming interconnected networks and structures of information and spaces that permeate our modern lives.
