- John Diephouse -
John Diephouse lives in the United States and creates digital collage
Artist Statement
My goal for my collages is to create images that evoke a story of some kind. I draw from a wide range of my photographic subjects such as landscapes, botanicals, and wildlife as well as urban environments and people in my creative work. I follow an intuitive yet somewhat ordered process of layering or merging portions of images until an image that speaks to me emerges. Images often suggest a sense of time and place, or reflect a rich and ethereal interplay of color, shape or form. Images may provoke an indefinable question that does not readily yield answers without further study and reflection.
Biography

John Diephouse has exhibited widely and has earned recognition in local, regional, and national exhibitions. His works are also included in several corporate and private collections.
