My research is driven by interests in the intersections of: The Printed Object, The Archive, Chemistry, Astronomy, and Chance I employ the visual alchemy of printmaking, drawing, and photographic materials to create forms that visually reference the celestial, the post-apocalyptic, and the otherworldly, evoking an experiential and emotional viewing understood through the meditative act of looking.
Portals is a series of print variations of a repeated circular form, similar to a Rorschach Test, intended to explore how the viewer perceives variations in texture, surface, color, image, and time. Each Portal is made with the principle of photogram and utilizes light and/or pressure, typically in combination with each other, to create endless variations. Each sheet of paper is coated with an emulsion or mixture of varying composition, printed using photogram, monoprint and collograph techniques, drawn on, and/or physically altered to achieve each unique print.
