This oil painting is a faux-collage inspired by painted papers, torn documents and vintage wallpaper fragments, detailed with drips, marks and signs of aging to suggest the passage of time. My oil paintings are based on my collages on paper made from vintage ephemera that I make first as concept sketches. The oil paintings then take on a life of their own, becoming more like landscapes of fallen monuments or layers of sedimentary rock from various human eras. Birds are the protagonists foraging what mankind has left behind. This work is part of my series, "The Rise and Fall," which explores modernism and how the rise and fall of viewpoints over time changes our relationship with nature. Ships wired and ready to hang. Collector should frame it, if desired. My framing recommendations are included. Signed on back.

My work examines modernism and our relationship to nature throughout history. My decades-long interest in birds developed while observing birds owned by my grandfather, who was a bird breeder during an era when harboring birds in cages was popular. My oil paintings are faux-collages on canvas recreating the forms of torn vintage documents from various eras. Color, pattern and texture are layered like sedimentary rock from our collective history, with details such as intentional drips, marks and signs of age applied by hand. Birds are the protagonists, foraging what mankind has left behind. In my work the birds are free, telling a story with fragments from our past. Also included here are my collages and ink drawings on paper, done as studies for my larger oil paintings.
