Recurring themes in my work include scientific discoveries, technology, alternative energy, location, and natural or unnatural disasters, though my output cannot be categorized in terms of specific subject matter; instead, it is my underlying approach and aesthetic that represents the unifying element. When I have an idea, I make many sketches to discover the best way to convey the idea and then search for the images to incorporate into the collage.

My work has more than one story to tell. I may be both trying describe the curve of the earth on a flat piece of paper and using collaged images to blur boundaries between the natural and the manufactured/technological world, representing simultaneously land, sky, water and architecture. It is made in a traditional way; constructed with cut paper and adhesive and plays with distortions between visual perspective and surface image.

Technology allows me to duplicate and manipulate images to fit my ideas and to further explore the relationship of the natural world and man made world and how we, as humans, navigate those worlds.
