Living archive / live inventory

An archive of torn paper, salvage, and singular objects.

Torn Frames is a living archive of one-of-one collage works built from damaged printed matter. Each piece is treated as both image and object: something to be looked at closely, held in memory, and kept visible even after it leaves the studio.

Field Notes From the Pile

The studio table is not a staging area. It is the thinking surface where torn material decides what survives.
