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. Initially captivated by the found image, I have become increasingly drawn to the blank pages, the margins, and the corners of images, the non-informational spaces within printed material that still hold the history and materiality of a past analogue knowledge system. In a reaction to an age of overwhelming information overload, I find a poetic space, a relief, working with the limitations this material. I use multi-layered grids and apertures, drawn and cut-through, to create a spatial dissonance exploring the intricate and hidden interconnected networks and structures of information and spaces that permeate our modern lives. Past series have explored the shared commonalities between the artist and the architect through the use of collage. Viewing the book as an architectonic object led to several series of fictional urban landscapes and unrealized architectural schemes.
