Searching for Life: Regrowth & Display

My self-portrait, Lamb of God, is currently on display at Xavier University Art Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio! It's part of a WE, the Women's Caucus Exhibition titled Searching for Life: Regrowth & Display that felt very appropriate. The opening reception is this coming Friday, October 7 and I believe the show runs till the end of October. I am bummed I won't be able to make it to see the show in person (unless someone wants to take a long road trip with me in mid-October) but I am super pumped because this is the beginning of a new series and the first exhibition of it. This image is part of a small set called Resurrection, which is part of a larger series that I am currently working on about spirituality. Speaking of which, I've been experiencing a lot of synchronicities lately. I'm not sure if this one really counts but today I sat down planning to post some sort of announcement about this exhibition and remembered that I was in the hospital with Covid this time two years ago. Out of curiosity, I opened my photo archive to see what I was doing on this day two years ago and this image was the first thing I saw. How fun is that!

WE, the Women’s Caucus Exhibition

Friends, I am super excited to announce that my #metoo work was chosen for inclusion in WE, the Women's Caucus Exhibition in Columbus, Ohio this November-December at West Rich Promenade Gallery. The show was curated by four jurors who chose twelve artists for the exhibition out of 61 entries so this is a huge honor. In addition to the show, an awesome exhibition website has been published so you can experience the exhibit virtually, and a printed catalog for the show is planned. How cool! I'm still new to sharing my work in shows like this, especially outside of the [...]

Fluttering Chrysalis Consumed

There is a creek called Five Mile Creek located near my childhood home in Birmingham, AL that's always been a place of magic in my imagination. These images are part of an experimental series I made that consisted of exposing plant life from around the creek during the middle of the day and then immediately processing the paper to stop exposure in the creek itself. For me, these prints are a combination of science and magic that commemorate this special place and the nostalgia of my childhood. Making these images was simply an experiment to see how pre-coated cyanotype paper [...]

Chemigrams: Beautiful Little Mysteries

Chemigrams are an experimental art form made by chemically manipulating light-sensitive paper. These were made using a variety of resists that include common kitchen and household items such as eggs, butter, jelly, cooking spray, sunscreen, dish soap, and tape. The resists are applied to the paper while the paper is being exposed to light and then moved back and forth between developer and fix until the desired result is achieved.

Vinales Valley | Cyanotype Toning Experiments

Cyanotypes are a photographic printing process that use a mixture of potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium to create a cyan-colored print. The cyanotypes in this series feature an image I took of Vinales Valley, Cuba when I traveled there in 2016. I created a digital negative, hand-coated the paper, and exposed these images under UV lighting in the darkroom. The cyanotypes below were then toned with different chemicals for varying amounts of time to alter the color of the final image and paper. Toned Cyanotypes
