One Word Poems

The One Word Poems collages include text compiled from a list of words I remember being called in my life. Some that appear are complimentary, some far less so. But all repurposed and reimagined. Marrying text, photography, and collage, the One Word Poems reexamine recognized symbols and components of femininity. Appropriated artworks become textural backgrounds for nature scenes or delicious cotton candy sunsets as letters overflow with cut floral elements.  These floral drawings conjure the memory of my childhood; redolent with the scent of wisteria, peonies, and fresh cut roses from my Mother and Grandmother’s gardens.
