Statement about my photocollage series:
These collages are made from photographs taken during walks, most often with my dog Milo. I use an old-fashioned Nikon film camera and the collages are made by geometrically cutting and pasting the photographic prints.
Most of these collages represent one walk at one time on one day and explore nature through close images of light, shadow and texture. I like to photograph the area around my home especially in the winter when the afternoon light changes quickly.
My background is in film, video and performance art. My current work is rooted in my interest in time and time-based art. The stillness of photography allows the observation of moments.
