As one of many contemporary collage artists who are swimming against the digital current, I see myself as a part of the important recycle and conservation movement. I am delighted to offer a new home to discarded magazines and obscure publications from past decades, allowing me to bring together different worlds on an unfamiliar plane. For hours I will happily sit, sifting through the forgotten pages of another time, waiting for that magic moment when I stumble upon the perfect combination of imagery. I would be sad that today our digital age has resulted in much printed material being discarded, rendered an inconvenience, except that it means so many treasures on paper are readily available to be re-claimed.
