(First Edition of 100)
The book features a series of arrangments mdae from clipped magazine fragments, each featuring a dog-eared corner. The fold reveals a small glimpse of the backside image. All collages are shown at 100% scale, and each page is laid out by hand directly on the scanner bed for a more organic arrangement. This book is an study in color, texture, and composition. The imagery is found, cropped, reinterpretted, and finally presented to a new audience.
‘I’m interested in the dialogue that happens between my own decisions and the material I’ve found. The compositions emerge through a system that allows for both intention and accident.’
