The commonly used elements in the collages come from National Geographic, Life, Pageant and other magazines dating from 1928 -1959. The books used for the collages are dated from the same time period and typically are medical, parenting, technical, floral, and bird subjects. The dates of the material are chosen because of the ink and paper used in printing prior to 1960 responds differently with the glue. There is also a personal preference for the older imagery. All collages are attached to 100% rag paper utilizing archival glue. The collages are a response to both personal experience and world events. Sometimes the image relays a message that is obvious and at other times the message is subliminal. Many of the collages have an element of humor, as humor can take the edge off a serious subject, making it more palatable for the viewer. Cut elements may sit on the drawing board for a year waiting for the right companions. Other times they sit in drawers sorted by subject. Magazines and books line several bookcases in the studio waiting for the scissors. Typically, only a few elements are necessary to create a new image; rarely are they congested or busy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfd63cb9ab8f00001de3764/1654363470211-N4R4C1T3WJZNMUAFDJ4I/image-asset.jpeg Process - Process All element are hand cut; favored tools for cutting collage elements are cuticle scissors and surgical knifes.
