Minimalist and incredibly striking, "Soar" is a deep breath of fresh mountain air. A solitary bird takes flight across a crisp, fragmented horizon of fluffy white clouds and a pale blue, geometric sky. The delicate, glossy papers of contemporary tourist magazines were expertly cut to give the bird a sense of forward momentum and freedom. This piece is a quiet, elegant addition to any modern space seeking a touch of nature.
About the Collection:
During the summer of 2026, I packed up and hit the road, traveling through Sisters, OR, Missoula, MT, and Jackson, WY. 'Tearing Through the West' marks a unique shift in my practice: instead of my usual vintage books, these pieces are built entirely from contemporary travel guides picked up along the way. The modern paper is incredibly thin and delicate, requiring a new level of patience and precision to cut and layer. This collection is a vibrant, tactile diary of tearing through the modern American West.
