It’s
all about serendipity.
I
always look for and pick up small objects discarded on the street,
and I love to buy other people’s memories in antiques shops.
All of these odd bits and pieces add to the serendipity when some
of those items find their way into my mixed media pieces.
My
favorite photo techniques are alternative ones – Polaroid
and photocopy transfers in particular – which frequently
“surprise” me with their results. Much of my work
includes these images.
My most recent work involves the “story” that I give
to unrelated photographs and bits and pieces of ephemera. The
elements that come to hand for each piece, and the words I type,
or the fragments of writing I add, all tell me what that story
is.
I leave it to the viewer to create their own story…
