Jeffrey Lependorf

Artist Statement/Collages

Combining images and shapes cut from discarded books—and from their original contexts—I create layers of movement and balance through controlled abstraction. It’s a way to achieve order in a chaotic world, and through this poetic recycling practice I can travel to unexpected destinations.
