    Industrial Collages

    Created between 2012 and 2017, these collages were made by projecting photographs onto sheets of paper and reconstituting the image in small pieces of black masking tape. Imagery includes high voltage power lines, cranes from industrial ports, the construction site of Frank Gehry’s building for the Luma Foundation in Arles, watch towers, etc.

    Flower Collages

    These collages from 2012 and 2013 were based on observational line drawings projected onto paper, then reconstituted in small pieces of black masking tape. The images were reproduced in a series of posters for the "Setting for an Ordinary Life" exhibition at the Musée national Fernand Léger, Biot, in 2013 and on a series of printed road signs.

    Museums of the World Collages

    Museums of the World, which ran from 2009 to 2015, consisted of drawing the objects exhibited in museums in over 30 cities in Europe, Asia, North America, North Africa and Australia. It explored the hypothesis that the cultural identity of each destination would be revealed by the objects it chose to archive. The line drawings were used to create a collage juxtaposing two archetypal objects. The resulting image was intended to distill an essence of place.
