Black and White

About my black and white collages

My black and white collages reduce the world to the realm of dualities–light and dark, space and shape, thing and not-thing. Space surrounds us, defining distances and articulating or obscuring the forms of things we recognize. We often experience the world in dualities–self and other, or object and space, for example. In Taoism, we call this duality Yin and Yang. I invite you to explore these cut paper collages. You may see the waves moving in the ocean or the patterns made by trees, but it is simply paper, cut, arranged, and glued down.
