Collages are hysterical surprises, fragmented landscapes, delirious layers of appropriation and ambiguity, and shocks of juxtaposition in the surrealist spirit. Collages collide times, combining unconscious dream-space with a stranger’s zone to make automatic narratives out of cyanotypes, found and constructed photographs, discarded books, art historical reproductions, and other forms of paper. Every collage is a collaboration with media and time. I work against the virtual tide of exclusive and temporary digital experience. I want to undo existing representations into dystopian / utopian imaginaries. Engaged with ethical seeing, I subvert dominant ideologies of hopelessness, desire, struggle and being. Collages are critiques of representation itself. I have been making collages ever since I was a child. They are my constant companion, source of pleasure, and the art I make for art's sake. In 2026, I made over 80 Dome collages in the series Everyone Stands Beneath Their Own Dome of Heaven or Hell.
