( with occasional pen )

 

I have been cutting things up and piecing them back together since i was a teenager.  Collage is medicine. If I am confused or overwhelmed by my emotions it is often through the process of collage that I am able to unveil insights and find clarity.  Juxtaposition and symbolism make my mind dance.   What to you see?
