Lost Shoe Series
“Lost Shoe” is a series of collages. My inspiration for this work began while unexpectedly observing the many places in which a single solitary shoe might suddenly appear. As most of us have experienced, this can happen anywhere. To name a few, such places might include, under your seat at the movie theater, floating down a river, lodged in a cart at the supermarket or maybe flattened out on the New Jersey Turnpike. Each sighting brings to mind an array of unanswered questions in regard to circumstances, identity, and why only one shoe? In search for answers, I began to imagine myself submerged in a deluge of last moment scenarios, walking the final footsteps of the ill-fated, fallen footwear. I eventually claimed them as my own, granting each one a story to tell.
