Profile Information:

What kind of art do you do?
Mostly I work with cut paper. I'm a big fan of simple juxtaposition, that essential word without a synonym, its power to startle and subvert, ideally make me laugh. That said, I love to layer transparent black and white image transfers to create cloudy narratives, the work I was making when I first posted here and soon to be featured in KOLAJ Magazine. I'll be getting back to it.

What is the guiding principle in your art?
The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things. (Lao-Tzu)
