Wish By Spirit

I consider these pieces to be sculptural collage.

These works are made by appropriating images of iconic artworks from different historical periods that I mine from books, auction catalogs, and magazines. I select specific parts that draw me to their shapes, colors and textures. I cut, arrange and rearrange, playing with their complementary and contrasting attributes and create surprising, lyrical and visually confounding new compositions. I am often amazed at what results from the simple juxtaposition of unrelated forms. It is as if I have released some kind of latent energy in the original work.

Materials: collage on laser cut plywood, paint.
