Turntable Man, oil and collage , 24 x 20 in.
The use of overlap and collage in my paintings is directly related to the images I depict. I use the collage material to guide me to the iconography that will become the focus of the painting. I am interested in the contrasts that are set up between the collaged surfaces and the painted surfaces as well as the play between the actual shallow space and the implied deep space.
