These are 10 out of the 15 collages I've made for this specific format I call Small Windows.
"Small Windows is an ongoing series of mixed media collage within a small scale. Collecting all forms of paper such as envelopes, articles, as well as aged and battered paper, I am then able to compose abstract pieces that react to color, form, light and texture. The idea behind Small Windows is to evoke a sense of intimacy and personality; a window of personal reflection and memory. I think of these collages like small instances in life such as a conversation in passing with an old friend or finding something sentimental from my past. Though banal these occurrences may be I find ways to create a visual representation of consciousness in an abstract dialogue. These colors or images are composed abstractly to reflect my detail of things I find on the streets or buried in a collection of old paper to then create a nonobjective flow of consciousness into a series of small compositions."
All sizes are 4 1/2 by 3 inches
