Collage


I first began doing cut and paste collage from women's magazines of the 40s, 50s, and 60s.  I'd long been fascinated by these magazines, and their depictions of food and women.  I aimed for a seamless approach to the collages, and have had many people ask if they were photgraphs, or somehow manipulated with the computer.  All of the women and food collages you see here are digital scans of the actual cut and paste collages.  When I discovered the digital camera I found I could do large collages of my own images, though there are a couple of digital collages here where I combined both magazine scans and my own images.  In 2005 I started creating collages on the computer made entirely of my own photographic images.  They show landscapes that are only in my mind.
