My box assemblages are created using a variety of materials including: cigar boxes, wood trim, textiles, and paper—wallpaper, vintage book pages, maps, and decorative papers.
The anthropomorphic creatures are collage figures I create using imagery from my various sourcebooks which is another form of re-purposing by giving imagery from the 19th century a new life.
The series started with an exhibition I had at Playhouse On The Square. I used language from the financial sector as inspiration for several of the “financiers” in that series. Since then, they have morphed and grown in myriad situations, themes, allegories, and guises.
