Fall Process

This Fall I have been using a new photo-collage method throughout the beginning stages of my work.  I call my use of photo-collaging "mapping," and I see it as just that; exploring a land and visually recording my findings.  I focus on composing shape, color and space to effectively describe my fragmented understanding of what I understand to be a completed imaginative space.  This space has been built up over time from a compilation of all things visual that I find intriguing. Through the mapping process I am able to view the land from different perspectives and for greater lengths of time.
