| I call these miniature |
| landscapes Haigas, after |
| the Japanese art form |
| combining words with images. |
| They are decollages, created |
| from weathered posters |
| rescued from a plywood |
| barrier around a construction |
| site. The papers were faded, |
| blistered, and gritty with |
| traffic grime. In the studio, |
| I found that the reverse, |
| unprinted sides were more |
| interesting than the printed |
| sides, and I began to see |
| hidden landscapes. I've done |
| very little alteration to the |
| papers, except to add some |
| tiny words dealing with |
| perception, perspective, |
| and topography, cut from |
| a pocket dictionary. |
| The series is sold out, but |
| I still like to show the images. |
