The Bird and I (Collage, 2010)

This piece began with a series of painted envelope scraps glued to a large piece of paper. I knew I wanted to make something, but I didn't know exactly what, nor did I feel like thinking too hard, so I just began to create. Little by little, pieces fell into place; or, rather, I begin to make sense out of them. I found a strand of possible direction and followed it for a while, knowing that I could keep adding and adding and nothing is ever finished, not even a piece of art. Like life, it is overwhelming and scary at times, but beautiful in all its possibilities as well.
