This series of small collage works on canvas board originally began as an exercise in using old solar plate, linocut and monotype prints. I had this idea of seeing how I might make something sculptural and 3D that I could hang on the wall with shadow box frames. Many of these figures or pieces within the composition are raised off the surface with foam core. The added dimensionality creates interesting shadows and depth, conveying more meaning, emotion and intrigue, which is what I was going for.
