My work focuses on historical images of women and incorporates surreal imagery, suggesting connections to our past. I particularly enjoy exploring the sacred in our everyday encounters.
This piece is made from paper, glue, and collage. It includes vintage images of couples kissing across a table, and a man squinting as though he is thinking very hard, and another man with a halo and angel wings using a jackhammer on a page of musical notes. Behind is a colorful medieval illuminated manuscript. Blue sky with clouds in the background.
