I see an inherent honesty in the face of my subject. These man-made structures, designed to be huge forces of permanence, are now collapsing in on themselves. Among all of the clutter\u2014the shards of wood and layers of rubble\u2014there remains a gentle resolve. It is as if the buildings were content with their circumstance. As I work, I study these structures incessantly. They are on the brink of ruin, yet appear dignified in their state. Something very energized and present is trying to escape out of a slow history of abandonment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>These images are created through an ambitious layering process. I collage with found paper to reflect the fragmented and complex tactility of decay. Once a dimensional foundation is achieved, various mixed media are used to bring definition and depth to these raw materials. The processes of collage and drawing alternate between themselves lending to a seamless blend of the two mediums.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Love.\u00a0<em>ps. most of this work ranges in the 4 &#8211;\u00a06 foot range!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sigh&#8230; collapse and decay has never looked so beautiful.
