This summer, a curator asked me for work that was “fun and kid friendly” for a solo show. My instinct was to squeeze out some paint and start painting toys that I’ve collected, which you can see here along with collages of my cat ‘Bunny’, who recently died. I used military photos from a recent yard sale and learned a new way to adhere assemblages to wood. There’s a certain flurry of spontaneous energy that happens when I start to piece together a collage from the sources I’m working with.
