Statement

Guided by early Surrealist Collagists, I am drawn to see deeply into scenes from our cultural archives of mass-produced illustrations and vintage found photos depicting where we have lived, and to add images as new witnesses to these portrayals to depose the secrets of how we have lived inside, outside, and between the walls that are our shared architectural bodies, built to shelter but also to shape and contain us (our sanctuary or our prison).
