ABOUT THE ART
Inspired by vintage anatomical and naturalist illustrations, I craft mosaic-like collages from wallpaper, a fiber rich in pattern and texture. Working from dark to light, I arrange colors and images into unified compositions that reveal an overall image from afar and detailed vignettes up close.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am a collage artist inspired by vintage scientific, medical, and naturalist illustrations, which I reimagine through the unexpected materiality of wallpaper. After beginning as an abstract painter, I became drawn to the precision and etched linework of historical anatomical and natural history imagery. I rip and cut the wallpaper into mosaic-like fragments, using its patterns and domestic associations to create a subtle tension between the familiar and the uncanny.
My work centers on the human figure, as well as birds, animals, and sea life. I’m inspired by the contrast between interior and exterior worlds, and I use collage to reconstruct these archival fragments into contemporary visual narratives.
