“In Old is the New New, an engaging array of collages are made from gathered materials seemingly selected at will but are all eventually adjudged as having relevance to the artist’s person and his modes of production. Apparent are pictorial paraphernalia extracted from both high and low culture, from art history and the commonplace, and collateral debris from the artist’s studio and / or the aftermath of an exhibition hanging – these are among the various parts that find their way and give sum to the collages.”
