"I find material for my collages everywhere. Working in this
medium has allowed me to see the beauty of the discarded
and turn it into art.
My images have two different manifestations. Some are
internal, elusive and suggestive. Others are external, dynamic
and engaged. They reflect my reality, which encompasses
both.
I have been inspired by the work of Kurt Schwitters, regarded by
most as the 20th century master of collage. He once said, "How I
use the material is often more important than the material itself."
This attitude is also reflected in my creative process."
