Layers

I've been thinking about my use of layers and layering of images in recent work. Perhaps they are an attempt to artificially superimpose/relate shapes that are otherwise unrelated? An attempt to create a shared history? A forced visual semiotics?

Or am I just trying to make sense of all my disparate inspirations? Important life-icons? There is something appealing to discovering their actual physical interaction when succumbing to the same borders and parameters...indeed, there is also something appealing in imposing shared meanings on these symbols - and in a way, they do already have shared meanings, in that they are all important/meaningful to me.

Sorry, still working on figuring out this uploading of pictures.
