"Wreckage debuts an ongoing Woodcut series made up of heavily remixed and edited collages that are engraved into plywood. It serves as a continuation of exploring editing software, with the aid of snapshots and found photos, as a mark-making tool. The results being a collection of photo-montage populated by emerging and disintegrating forms whose presence bring about the ruin of their support – in most cases, the appropriated images are obscured underneath successive layers of copies."
