Collection of Works

Memories of places, details of collected ephemera, feeling fully alive. Printmaking reflects the multiple layers of recurring memories. The soft palette reveals the haziness of them. My works are a journey for the viewer as well as expressing my journey through the places that have imprinted themselves on me. They are composites of close-up textures, natural objects I have collected and sweeping vistas. The soft materials, such as embossing, resemble memories, with the etchings, lino and stitching referencing forms that resonate more clearly. “I am hopelessly in love with a memory. An echo from another time, another place.” Michel Foucault.
