Cyanotypes:

Series: Silba 

This series was created by using cyanotype-coated fabric and various plants, seaweed and jewelry were used to create photograms. The cyanotype is contained in an altered picture frame, I use the sun to expose the image from 5-20 minutes. The fabric is then removed and soaks in cold water for 5 minutes to set the image. I hand-sewed the hems around the cyanotypes.

Series: Ancestral Journey

These abstracted photos are created by taking a disposable camera and destroying it by various means. Including: stabbing, coloring the lens, swimming with, leaving outside during a storm, etc. Once the roll is finished the entire camera is then dunked in a film soup (Gagné method). The film soup contains various liquids, detergents, medicines, and spices and creates the destruction of the emulsion. The whole disposable camera is then frozen for a number of hours to days and is thawed before developing. The photos are not edited.

Fever Dreams Series 

Originally exhibited for the exhibition: Sehnsucht 2020-2022 

This series I took during the Spring and Summer of 2020 during the Coronavirus lockdown. Photos were taken in Uncoway (Fairfield, Connecticut) and in the Pamet Valley (Outer Cape Cod). The photos were an exploration of how being infected by Covid impacted my art, especially as my Long Covid dragged on. I was re-examining my relation to my body in space, and the self-portraits were all taken in shadow.
