Exploring new creative dimensions through collage, I selected two paintings of similar themes, then bravely cut and wove them into a new composite work. Although the subject matter is fragmented, the mind stubbornly filters and contemplates. The joy is in offering works where the viewer considers two related narratives, then discovers the relevance. I enjoy the process of repurposing works into fractured, kaleidoscopic abstract shapes to create entirely original, imaginative works.
