I Want / I Need
The collage works of this time period were a new direction and departure from my work in abstract oil painting. A few small experiments with collage in 2010, opened up what now seem like endless possibilities of form and content. The images collected from magazines and catalogues serve as a vocabulary with which to negotiate desire, identity, and a search for meaning.
For the exhibit at the Twist Gallery in 2010, Nashville based artist, Angela Burkes, and I created a site specific installation as a context for our 2d works documented below.
