I am a Berlin-based collage artist working primarily with found paper and particularly concerned with how documents - maps, bookkeeping ledgers, spreadsheets, textbooks, etc. - present information, and how that information is changed when placed in new contexts and juxtaposed with seemingly unrelated documents.

How do we as viewers draw connections between these documents?

Do we have a responsibility to the original documents?

Can the connections we draw create a more holistic understanding of a theme or subject?

Originally from (slightly) upstate New York, I lived in Colorado, Utah, and Los Angeles before relocating to Berlin with my wife - a writer and host of the Secret Library Podcast - three cats and a dog.
