Largely collage and other works on paper using found landscape and cityscape scenes. The collaged "cut stone" images are cut from photographs of the lunar surface. The placements of the collage elements purposely obstruct the view. It is my intent to comment on how our additions and subtractions from the natural and built environments have obscured and obstructed the natural environment.
