Artist Statement

Introduction to Collages

In the early 2009, I started working on a series of collages by recycling found cardboards/magazines from the streets of NYC. It has been an exciting adventure ever since. They have led me to explore the mysterious and unusual with a new aspect of rhythm and surprise..a 'form' of plastic freedom combined with a 'kind' of new architecture. They are pictorial representations, often from memories and myths.

I have tried to arrive at some sort of universal metaphor with these mixed media works. The titles for these mixed media works presented themselves in humorous ways. They carry within, sense of fragmented dreams, dislocations.. at times without boundaries-ongoing the past imperfect.

Some works are recycled vignettes with a sense to seek specificity within abstraction. Often, there is an interplay between recognizable image and abstract shapes, between spontaneity and control, and between foreboding irrationality and joyous affirmation.
