About the Artist
My general intent, throughout all my work, is to portray the world as a flawed thing of beauty - a place that shines brightly, but has a dark side to match.
Everything you see here is composed by hand - cut from books I've been collecting for years, and painstakingly pieced together as seamlessly as possible. Technically they are collages, but I've never enjoyed describing them in those terms... I feel like there is a general concept out there of what collage is and tends to look like, which doesn't apply to what I do at all.
I have lately been creating larger and more intricate collages; in my future works I hope to continue expanding my complexity and scale, and creating what I believe are fresh perspectives on the surreal and grotesque.
