Recent work using collage. The inspiration is from combined fragments of my past: prints, photographs, painting, drawings, magazines and scrap paper. I let the materials inform the collage and eventually an idea and a new story unfolds to form the final outcome. The pieces are not randomly placed, there is a very considered connection, an interaction or joining between the pieces. I have explored the impact of one object upon another, similar to how past memories impact on newer ones, and how links build up over time. The fragmentary nature of the pieces recalls the ability of the memory to conjure up details from the past with an apparent lack of logic.
