i like to organize things and i like to be spontaneous — collaging allows me to do both. it’s a way to express recurring emotions and thoughts and visualize the patterns in my head. what I can't articulate in words feels more truly expressed through mark-making. collage is one way i explore my inner world and turn it outward.

“Trust yourself. At the root, at the core, there is pure sanity, pure openness. Don’t trust what you have been taught, what you think, what you believe, what you hope. Deeper than that, trust the silence of your being.” —Gangaji
