Bricolage

Combining and overlaying audio and visual recordings, photographs and texts, the art of assemblage [and its relation to ethnographic practice in my work] relates to anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss and the conceptualizing notion of bricolage. In verbal-visual juxtapositions, my work relies heavily on the power and possibility of mixing media. I juxtapose text and image, combining audio and super-8 film, journals, photography, and found texts. The fragments inform one another, creating a whole that is more than the sum of its parts.
