Minature Collage
My creative process relies upon experimentation, serendipity, and exploration of materials to express the energy that celebrates life in all its mystery and paradox. Zen concepts, found objects, handmade and hand stained paper are the cornerstones and catalysts for each of my collages.
Harmony, balance and mindfulness gleaned from training in Sumi-e, meditation and Chi Gong also pervade my work. I incorporate the Enso – Japanese for circle – in most of my collages; as a spiritual symbol it represents the absolute, the true nature of existence and enlightenment.
Often diminutive in size, my collages are showcased in shadow box frames that accommodate their bas-relief nature and layer several ideas and concepts into a small physical space.
