My work focuses on the necessary emphemerality of our experience with strong ties to the natural world and the finality of senescence and ending. I view the natural world as a mirror for our own experiences of human connection, sometimes a brief but impactful presence which leaves a distinct impression on our experience of linear time.
Exposed chlorophyll from various Quercus species (various dimensions)
These prints are made by exposing live oak leaves to sunlight. A delicate process is required to keep photosynthesis active on the leaves as the print develops. The resulting image is stabilized with copper and the leaf is preserved in resin to slow the process of the image fading entirely from the print.
Cyanotype chemistry on bristol (various dimensions)
Collaborative work with local D.C. artist, Jason Edward Tucker. Melting snow, ice, and local water create lasting impressions and tonality on these prints as a metaphor for climate change. You can read more about our work on Jason's website here.
