This series of word collages originate from daily reflection. They are meant to be playful and direct. The text is hand-cut with a scissors from a stack of my paintings on paper. Whether in English or French, I search for resonance in the word or phrase. Each word collage alerts, comforts, and guides me to look beyond language.
