a small selection of older collage works, an art medium which i became quite absorbed by in the late 1990's; perhaps they are more appropriately termed assemblage since i often combined found fragments with my own embossed, moulded and textured handmade papers...the theme arose from damage caused to stored works... fascinated by the processes of decay... some pieces were salvaged and deconstructed to make new work... visual references from elements such as flint, fossils, beach or street detritus and rusted or weathered objects, influenced the constructions... then were "float" mounted in handmade square box frames, reflecting the manner in which archaeological artefacts are catalogued and preserved...
