This collage was created by physically manipulating and juxtaposing the artist’s personal photographs. After hand-cutting and gluing, the collage was digitally adjusted and enlarged to create the final image. The work is a meditation on the atemporal, equivocal nature of memory and how the present is parsed through the frame of the past.

Within the frame of Top of the Rock, mountain peaks in Utah are set adjacent to the NYC skyline and skyscraper cranes viewed from the observation deck at Rockefeller Center (coined “Top of the Rock”).
