The micro world floats across the surface of LEGEND, a map of the ancient Mediterranean collaged with images of period art works and papered with transparent dress patterns.  The whole is framed with a DNA spiral adornment.

These evocative collages are manufactured in the editing and arrangement of ideas and images.  The artist presents us with a variety of associations and questions useful in the understanding of our world.  We are left to supply the answers.
