Description

paper collage

28" x 22"

Spring 2005

The idea behind this piece was the application of ancient knowledge of the heavens in search of the meaning for life. This can be appreciated with my inclusion of the double helix tree, globe of strange constellations, and the star manuscript with notes in runes.





------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some materials used in this work were derived from various magazine sources, perhaps including, but not exclusive to; National Geographic, National Geographic Travel, Architectural Digest, Outside, Smithsonian, In Style, Playboy, Transworld, Reader's Digest, Sailing, Sports Illustrated, Field & Stream, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Skateboarder, American Hunter, and American Rifleman.

I have altered, rearranged, and transformed the fragments of photographs and advertisements published in these magazines in a way inconsistent with their original context, focus, and arrangement, so that any derivative use qualifies as
de minimus, and therefore does not infringe on any copyright. Additionally, some elements may have been appropriated and recontextualized, qualifying as fair use.

This is absolutly beautiful, I'm just starting to get into collage work myself, I was wondering if the papers you use are hand painted yourself or taken from other sources? Either way its very lovely!
