My prints and artist books are intimate portraits of the textures, patterns, and shapes found in nature. I have always been captivated by the hands-on approach that historic alternative photographic processes provide for my work. These slow processes yield unique and frequently unpredictable results. I often use botanical toners on the final prints which impart delicate and nuanced color changes. More recently, I have been bringing together collections of old prints and remaking them into artist books. Piecing together fragments of old and new. Artist books allow the viewer to interact with the images in an even more intimate way, turning the pages or opening flaps to reveal the next layer of the story. Each book shows the artist’s hand and provides a compelling voice for nature’s architecture.
