In this series a portrait is used  as the basis for photomontages that explore the questions:  What is sacred?   What are we at risk of losing due to environmental issues and global concerns?  The work is informed by religious imagery, contemporary issues and popular culture.

*  During an artist residency in The Netherlands, I had a chance encounter with the artist model Geke Hankel.  I asked if I could take her portrait.  The resulting photograph was then used as the foundation for a series of collages with imagery of contemporary life in the Netherlands.
