Using hand-painted and printed paper and cardboard, I have pieced together disjointed memories from my unusual upbringing to construct small assembled vignettes. Just a single vintage photo of the exterior of the 1904 Arlington, Virginia farmhouse I grew up in survives today, but my mind effortlessly conjures up vivid visual snapshots of the exterior of the historic home and garden, as well as of the décor inside and of everyday objects and events. These fragments are signified by the broken abstract shapes of the paper collage pieces.
