Introduction

These images come from a quiet place and a desire to play. I build simple constructions into bottles, and, like puppets, they perform under foglight against a backdrop of old maps and botanical drawings. They aim not to tell a story, but to evoke a mood or a state of mind.

Words hover above these images, but do not land....
germination... harvest...notation...compass...navigation...weight...harbor...exploration...
anchor...cargo...yearning...disorientation...incubation. Instead I title them by numbers to leave their mute mystery intact.


Technical Notes

Theses archival pigment prints were created at Electric Works under the direction of the artist. They were outputted on an Epson 9800 printer with an Ultrachrome K3 Inkset on acid-free 100% cotton paper (300 gms) with no optical brighteners. This combination of inks and papers produces a print that is archivally rated to last 100+ years. The images were printed in editions of ten. Each print is 8 inches across with torn edges.
