Assemblage, 19"w x 14.5"h x 6"d. 2001.

Religion, the meaning of life, spirituality as opposed to religion. These are the themes of many of my pieces. The New Testament with a rusty nail through it. FIT FOR LIFE (diet) book torn page by page and inserted one by one into a wooden box, the whole book stuffed as I have often stuffed myself.

Beautiful! It reminds me of some of the great assemblage makers like Joseph Cornell and Lucas Samaras?

Yes, J Cornell, my master. His influence on my work is great. I have had the opportunity to see his work recently at the Art Institute of Chicago. Breathtaking!

Thanks.

Lucky you! The last big retrospective of Cornell I saw was about 15 years ago at the Tate in London. I could have spent hours looking at his wonderful boxes and collages.

It's palpable, it's also pretty to look at. I like the subtle colors a lot, and the textures are very pleasing to my eye.

I saw a Cornell show at the art institute back in the 90's - I can definitely see the influence. Of course, I love it - and by extension, yours. Nice one.
