Patchwork and Frankenstein

"The process of collage, of culling, sorting, and composing with these miniature forms, parallels the process of composing both our physical lives and worldviews. From millions of diverse sources, experiences, and encounters, we each weave together our environments and our philosophies with beautifully unexpected combinations as well as tenuous inconsistencies. The current work reflects on this kind of fabrication, wondering at the nuances separating a patchwork quilt from Frankenstein’s monster."
