“Little Thoughts”

A few years ago I began a series of collages incorporating words and images sourced from my collection of vintage 1960s and 1970s Seventeen magazines, as well as Playboy magazines of the same era. Also included throughout are dried rose petals and leaves, tissue paper, and layers of acrylic ink and decorative papers.

Each of these pieces measures less than 11”x14”, and are small contemplations on how American culture has both changed and remained the same over time, as well as the transient nature of all aspects of life- from opinions, to fashion, to societal norms.
