As part of a series called Collective Memory, the artist has pulled images and words from seminal works to commonplace documents that can only begin to touch on the continuum of thought.  The photographs contain pertinent pages of a single book, collecting all the thought into one image. The books cover science, technology, philosophy, religion, art, culture, and nature.  While each book or image is important, no one work can be said to be more relevant than another. …Instead their relationships supersede their individuality.
