Synthetic Collage Series, 1984 - 1988
This body of work evolved from research conducted for public art projects, complementing the artist’s studio practice and over two decades of site-specific commissions (1978–2014). Investigating visual communication systems, the artist explored how meaning shifts when image “dialects” are layered, recombined, or recontextualized. Moving beyond earlier paintings that mimicked real space through photography, this series introduces synthetic collages made of shaped, illusionistic forms that blur real and imagined space. These constructed visuals function like visual poetry, using metaphor, rhyme, and simile to create narratives—where image fragments act like words forming sentences or phrases.
