Undefined Distance 1
Collage on paper
2022, 11"x8"
Undefined Distances Between Men and Women explore an unseen world of emotion and memory, where the distance between and within the collaged figures exposes their isolation, desolation, and alienation. Each collage is an attempted integration of a fractured self, displaced through differing emotions, that builds towards an identity composed of fragments juxtaposed against an unfilled yearning for wholeness and connectedness.
The appropriated photo-based imagery is sourced from vintage and contemporary books and magazines. These collages are a surrealist dialogue between figurative and abstraction where the real and the manipulated overlap with the familiar and unfamiliar.
