Visual Art – Denver
Since I was a kid, I have been infatuated with collecting random assortments of paper and journals (that I would usually only write one page in before deciding it was better without words). As I got older, I realized that I came from a family with a very rich oral history but with very little material documentation. I began collecting the stories of our family through photos, poetry and note-filled Moleskines. I became obsessed with the notion of documentation.
Then, in college, a pivotal literary theory class that touched on Constructionist theory sealed the deal on my passion for narrative. I came to love the idea of Doc.u.meant-tation (or the notion of meaningfully documenting the world around us). Since then, I have passionately pursued this mantra through a variety of forms including poetry, photography, and collage.
The idea of FODDER + FORGE came one evening when I decided that holding onto my creations wasn\'t helping to share the reinterpreted narratives of the pieces I\'d created. I cleaned out a spare closet and created a studio in it and the set to work starting an Etsy store (and a soon-to-come website) to share my work with others.
So here we are, a collection of fine art prints that is full of reinterpreted original art pieces that are closet creations, passionately papered, steeped in history, and the sublime summation of stories.
