Tobias Waite

Tobias Waite examines a disconnect from environment in his paper collage work.  Figures and objects exist in layers, more specifically, in separate planes.  Between these planes, they experience failed attempts to interact.  The efforts of characters to actually relate beyond their planes are literally impossible.  So despite a seemingly tangible relationship with environment and others, no such relationship is actually achieved.
