I almost threw out this big piece of plywood but instead I painted black lines all over it. Then, I almost threw it out again but instead I painted some white on it. Then, I almost threw it out again but my neighbor took it.

I recently created a barrage of collage works during a graduate course at the University of the Arts. Each work was constructed by cutting, placing and pasting paper culled from old sketchbooks, magazines and a book about Paul McCartney’s paintings.

And in the end, the art you take… is equal to the art you make.
