My studio looks a bit like a cluttered antique store specializing in papers and photographs. I have always been drawn to these weathered items carrying stories we will never quite know. From these items I glimpse a hidden narrative, which I develop further by adding other materials to contribute to the story. I hope viewers find something strange yet familiar in my work that sparks their own memory, humor or sense of wonder.
