collage work from Italy, 2024
During a study abroad trip to Orvieto, Italy, I began creating personal collage works using photographs I took in museums, chapels, and galleries. By remixing imagery from medieval and Renaissance art, I explored themes of religion, gender, sexuality, and spirituality—blending myth and theology through intuitive processes of cutting, pasting the photos using digital techniques. I worked quickly and instinctively, aiming to stay out of my own way and avoid overworking the compositions.
