Logic of the Subconscious

A small sampling of a slowly growing series of shadow box constructions (50 to date) proved challenging to represent on this web site. In these three-dimensionally layered, constructed collages, I juxtaposed elements chosen to work together much like Robinson Jeffers described his masonry building technique, “Stone loving stone”. In the construction of his “Tor” House in Carmel, California, Jeffers would choose, roll, and maneuver each irregularly shaped stone until it felt as though it was meant to fit with its neighbors in the wall. From piles of my miscellaneous, unmounted prints, personally symbolic patterns emerged through the elements, placement, and combinations chosen extemporaneously.
