Artist Statement:
I must confess. I have an
obsession – tear sheets. I

I started looking beyond the
foreground to the blurry
images in the background and I
felt a connection. My
pre-child, easy-going life
seemed to be fading and
blurring away, much like the
images in the background.
Taking scissors to paper, I
started cutting up the tear
sheets, finding interesting
compositions within the
backgrounds of the photos.
I use the “mini” tear sheets
