Clayprints
When I removed the dried clays from the trays in the installation “Changing States,” I discovered that each clay left its own distinctive pattern of marks on the linings of the trays. I removed sections of these patterns to preserve as digital fine art prints. Revealing the rarely-noticed patterns that clays assume is a major focus of my work.

Porcelain’s Pantheon

Tide Rocks
I stretched multiple sheets of paper across a rock formation on the coast of Ipswich Bay in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Using a plumber’s marking pen, I transferred the image of the rock onto the papers. Some are direct prints, others are collaged.
Car Wash Series
A chance trip through a car wash provided a spectacular light show.
