My narrative collages aim to present a parallel history to the world. It is a history wherein the banal becomes beastly, and the mythological becomes mundane. I support some of these endeavors with quotations from my “research,” lending the works all the reliability of a Wikipedia entry and the gravity of The Evil Dead’s Necromonicon.

In juxtaposing disparate cultural forms, I hope to underscore the value judgments that various segments of society make on creative and intellectual thought processes. The collages pair art against humor, text against image, and academic knowledge against popular passions. In doing so, I hope to establish a stage on which these battles may finally begin the process of reconciliation.

No photo-manipulation is utilized. I construct each composition from found images, scissors, and glue. It is my effort at recycling the glut of visual imagery that an individual encounters in her daily existence.
