The quick capture of an image and the passage of time over its manipulation is combined in the series The Accidental Photograph. With the photographic image, a Polaroid or multiple ones as the foundation, slowly over days, weeks, months, or even years, a conversation develops with a variety of casually collected materials. The techniques and substances of collage become the associated possibilities for what is seen in the finished piece. The photo collages ask to be deciphered by one’s internal logic and are not suggestive of any one particular notion. The medium of photography seems so rational when considering its mechanics and so often irrational or perplexing when considering content or trying to decipher a specific message. Interior and exterior reflections remain in constant flow; it seems the nature of collage to be in flux through its process and as likely through interpretations over time.
