This piece was done in response to loosing our little girl. All the newspaper clippings are from that time and about the month beyond.

"Oh Bloody"
2009
collage, woodcut
I like hands and the idea of reaching into something unknown. I like the implication of touch and portrayal of that feeling whether comfortable or not.

"Uncertainty" (?) I'm still up in the air about this title.
2009
As you can see, many of these collages contain elements from previous finished prints. I enjoy manipulating the imagery, altering the intention with new combinations originally not perceived.
"Which Way"
2009
collage, lithography
One of the many collages I've completed this year. More to come!

"Over There" is a mix of relief collaged to monotype. 2009, same date as many of my newer collages, I was really on a roll. Gotta get back into the swing of things!
I am fascinated with information that cannot be seen or easily extracted, like the mind containing memories and information that is obscured. Natural elements, seeds, cells and microscopic images only show a portion of information. The human body also stands as a metaphor for the container, taking in social constructs and gender roles prevalent still today. My work makes comments on these factors heavily relying on autobiographic information and domesticity.
