Artist Statement

"Flat, two-dimensional visual works of art on paper which create the feeling of movie-like narratives through a composition of image rich and story like printed pictures".

All my Cinefield® work is done utilizing traditional collage technique of cutting out images with scissors and fixing them with adhesive to paper. I never use any digital magic. Importantly, all the images that I use are from photos which I personally took. They all measure 11x17 inches.

The goal for me with this medium is creating a sort of open-ended narrative, the viewer creating the story in their own mind’s eye, different for each person. This allows for repeated viewings without loss of tension. I prefer density in all my work regardless of medium. Cinefield® greatly facilitates that bent so that if you look at a piece several times without distraction, each time will be noticed new little surprises akin to the effect of when looking at Hieronymus Bosch or Pieter Bruegel.
