Artist: Phil Kimball

I find the textures and colors surrounding me very intriguing. And, I can't help wondering, "what if I changed this or that?"
After a late start at making art, I discovered that the results of deconstructing and then reconstructing something is fascinating, illuminating and most often very satisfying. When I created three-dimensional sculptures I took great delight in putting things together that were not necessarily related. I find the same pleasure in photography, digital imaging and making collages. Deconstructing images and then reconstructing them in a different order or arrangement.
The juxtaposition of form and texture in both my three-dimensional work and in my photo collages is a consuming interest. If I can capture a viewer's eye and lead it through one of my collages and have that viewer find several "eureka" moments, I have succeeded. Most of my collages are not straight forward. The viewer will, hopefully, find the familiar wedded with the unfamiliar in pleasing ways.
