10 3/8" x 9 3/8 " • photomontage $100.00

For most of my creative life I have been involved with manipulated photography. I developed an interest in photomontage while studying the work of Constructivist's, Surrealist's and Dadaists. I was drawn to the halluncinatory landscapes that occur when common place objects and arcane fragments of memory and culture become enigmatic when reorganized into provocative associations and metaphoric creations. My work has included both schools of photomontage, the Dadaist Surrealist approach which unconsciously, attempts to avoid expression of an ideology implicitly present in any image that is intended to represent reality and the Constructivist approach that reveals idealogy for exactly what it is, rendering the class structure of social relationships, demystifying the visual propaganda from mass cultural media and laying bare the menace of fascism as represented in this artwork.
