All 2022, collage, mixed media and prismacolor on found paper, 20.5" x 11.75".
In this series, I am engaging in a dialogue with our unnameable emotional states and inner complexity. My curiosity about the nature of consciousness and human relationships inspires these collages, each portraying an action, a feeling, or possibly an interaction.
The series' title comes from the John Koenig’s thought provoking 2021 book, “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows”.
