miscellaneous collage

I use collage as a method to tell stories, to draw connections across time and between moments, and to condense the aesthetic sense and feeling of a certain moment or narrative.

All my collage incorporates three-dimensional elements, as the various images are positioned on different heights and distances from the base, creating an illusion of depth. Additionally, by positioning parts of the assemblage on different levels, I’m able to narrate the collage in unexpected ways, simultaneously combining my own photos with those of others.

I’ve also used the method of multidimensional collage to “summarize” a roll of film (36 photos) into just one piece of work: this allows for telling an otherwise fragmented story in one piece of art, that conveys the message and aesthetic sense of a trip, a party, a special day in the summer, or life, through a careful selection and assembling of related visuals.
