Of Something Beautiful, but Annihilating.

​Welcome Home.

My collages are about the complexity of finding contentment, the implausibility of landing in a happy space.

This series of collaged rooms draws inspiration from Sylvia Plath’s Ariel. The titles are taken from Plath’s poems and the images revisit her struggles to attain the domestic bliss promised in popular culture.

​Made from lifestyle magazines, real estate ads and other commercial ephemera, these paper places challenge assumptions of comfort and fulfillment. Within layers of throw-away paper are layers of meaning that invite you to question the everyday spaces we call home.
I do not fear it: I have been there
Solid the spaces lean in, envious
This is the room I have never been in
And here you come, with a cup of tea
I have hung our cave with roses
The empty benches of memory look over stones
Viciousness in the kitchen
Or the voice of nothing, that was your madness?
By whatever these pink things mean
Regard me sadly, I disappoint them
I see your cute decore/Close on you
The place I am geting to, why are there these obstacles
To bring teacups and roll away headaches
Chinese yellow on appalling objects
The tulips are too red in the first place
Here is a hand/To fill it and willing
