I started making these minimal collages many years ago and they sat quietly until I brought them back out this past year to reinterpret and complete. I found such pleasure in cutting the forms with a scissor, as though I was drawing in space or refining the curve of a clay form. The individual shapes were layered on top of one another to create new forms, and these new forms began to suggest clouds and phases of the moon. In this grid of 24 works (24 of 30), in which the sum of the parts makes a whole, (individually and collectively), each collage is only slightly different from the next, yet all are unique. How many ways can an idea be expressed and how do the images relate to one another within this repetitive and ordered structure?
