I use assemblage to create contemporary art based on the compositional strategies of Archaic Greek oral-formulaic poetry.

"Those, again, of Tricca and the stony region of Ithome,
and they that held Oikhalia, the city of Oikhalian Eurytos,
these were commanded by the two sons of Asklepios,
skilled in the art of healing, Podaleirios and Makhaon."
(Entry 25, Catalogue of Ships, Iliad)

"who were the chiefs and princes of the Danaans?
But their number I could not tell nor name
(not even if I had ten tongues and ten mouths
and a voice that was unbreaking, and if a heart of bronze were within me)
if the Muses of Olympus, of Zeus the aegis-bearer
the daughters, did not remind me"
