Life can be reflected in art. Over forty years of memories and
experiences help to form my works. Often a "found" treasure will end
up in a collage, or in the body of one of my creations.
My current works are a culmination of ground papier-mâché,
fibers, and vestiges of an entertainment career. Retired records and
spare instruments are taken to a new realm. Spare parts are woven
into new projects. This is my favorite way to recycle paper and to
utilize discarded objects.
Visual entertainment is exciting! Observing the evolution of a
new work is a very curious task. The nature of the materials that I
use and the drying process itself is often unpredictable. Often,
some aspect of the subject will appear, and inevitably change the
original path the work was on.
I have always had a passion for paint. It allows me to reveal the
desired aspect and detail of my unique works. I transfigure wet
paper pulp, paint, wire, cloth, fibers, and memorable finds into my
own private therapy sessions. My journey continues as I find solace
in creating my alternatively recycled art.
