[DE]COMPOS[ED] explores the systems and boundaries between binaries (text/image, conscious/unconscious, corporeal/spiritual) and focuses on the points at which these constructs converge, invert and decompose.

These lens-based images and drawings were crafted via various techniques: masking piercing, sewing, drawing, digital imaging, and printed in multiple layers. The original images vary in size, medium and technique. The final pieces were then reproduced, archival inkjet printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag and also included in a handmade, limited edition 7 x 7 inch, 50 plate artist book.

"When we deal with [Things] by using them and manipulating then, this activity is not a blind one; It has its own kind of sight, by which our manipulation is guided from." – Martin Heidegger, Being and Time
