such is the life of an assemblage artist. there is a raft of 

materials stocked in my studio for future assemblage art works.

collected from junk yards, second-hand shops, antique shops and

curbside castaways. you never know when something will be just the

right item to compliment the piece you are working on at the time.

i love to sit and sort my stash of found objects into various 

containers. i have jars containing all sorts of things - board game pieces, doll parts, small toys, etc. etc. most of these things i may never use in my art works yet the satisfaction of finding and possessing them is essential to my creative process.
