SORT OUT is an exhibition of mixed-media works created using paper materials collected from the streets of Manchester, England and the East Village, New York City. The acts and decisions involved-what to select or discard, what to cut out or leave behind—reflect the daily behaviors of those of us living in a world of information overload

The materials gathered from the streets express the difficulty of navigating the overwhelming flood/influx of information. Meanwhile, the abstract paintings convey the preciousness and transience of our finite time.

These works invite reflection on whether one spends life actively or passively.
