It was important, in developing this installation, that there be no waste of materials, or ideas. Which can of course be confusing to the viewers and maybe not as polished as I tend to like things. But the idea of dangling collages, is reflective of the countless demands placed on us for attention from the media, politics, family, social etc. I wonder if the competition for our attention is numbing, in a societally detrimental way? And then, it occurs to me that it is more than numbing, it is shaping the way we edit and view the world........
