What is the process?

Sometimes I visualize the completed piece and the title all at once. I know how the collage should look. I then search for just the right components.

More often, I have no idea of where I want to go. I start by gathering parts, making notes about images that suggest intriguing concepts. I try various combinations of words and images in sketches until a concept worth pursuing appears. Then I find the rest of the components that are required to complete the image. The process can take a few evenings, or a few years.
