These are images of little worlds that I have created from handmade artwork, collected found objects and materials taken from the natural world. The enclosed little worlds that I call "Catastrophic Interiors" are generally no larger than seven by seven inches are various. Other images are details from my studio and and art shows where I arrange a variety of these items to create new meaning.
