"My work is based in photography, capturing images with a camera, creating imagery which I then assemble on hand coated cyanotype papers. As I gather imagery, I am open to found objects, the natural world, architectural elements and vintage toys and decorative objects. In creating work I think about the ephemeral nature of things, fragile familial bonds and the materiality of cyanotype. Much of my work is large scale, inviting an immersive experience into the rich Prussian blue color inherent in cyanotype, a blue that while feeling its vast distance also draws you in. I work on paper, silk and linen and add color and detail with paint, ink, pencil and marker. I have a large archive of images to choose from when I begin a new piece responding to my own thoughts and emotions of that moment/time/day creating a unique object."
