«Currently I work in photography and collage and my source images are from family albums or photo shoots that I arrange with friends.  Sessions with friends are done with the intention of experiencing greater intimacy and communication.  The objects that I make from the photos are heavy on ornamentation and structural/formal issues.» M. Steckbauer
