Received into the collection for the 2009 exhibition Thinking Inside of the Box

My box assemblages range from nostalgic to political statements to downright bizarre.  In addition to box assemblages, I have for many years worked in collage, in the form of postcards, envelopes, and pins.

I maintain an ever-expanding collection of the materials that I gather.  Sometimes I’ll build an idea around one piece while other times I’ll come up with the idea and then search for the pieces to make it work.  Whatever my final intent, the works all start as bits and pieces of old photos, cigar boxes or old drawers, old paper, or ephemera, such as letters, tickets, and just about anything that catches my eye as I scour yard sales, antique shows, flea markets, and even the toy departments of modern stores for raw materials.
