Musings on My Work
Birchface
Posted: March 9, 2012
Birchface is be a rectangular format walk around portrait that will compliment my circular panorama portraits of trees of the Arnold Arboretum at my exhibition Tree Rings. http://arboretum.harvard.edu/news-events/art-shows/ The exhibition will run March 17 through April 29 with a reception march 17 1-3 PM and an artist talk April 12 at 6:30 PM.
Wild Cherry
Posted: March 9, 2012
Wild Cherry is a walk around portrait in a rectangular format rather than circular. This piece was finished with a matt but fully saturated color surface to eliminate reflections in a glare situation in an upcoming exhibition at Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, Boston.
Yarrow Park
Posted: January 13, 2012During the first snowstorm at Anderson Ranch while I was a resident there in November I shot the photos for this piece in Yarrow Park behind the firehouse. This is the only night flash panorama I have done while snow was falling.
Falling Leaves
Posted: January 12, 2012My first hike up Snowmass mountain I was startled by the wind, looked up and saw leaves from Aspen trees being blown into the air.
Aspen leaves ditch trail
Posted: January 11, 2012This piece was the first I made while a resident at the Anderson Ranch in Colorado. These leaves were neatly splayed in a single layer near grid in the appropriately named ditch trail.
Sycamore2
Posted: October 11, 2011
After two years I finally completed this work. The photos were a circumambulatory portrait of a Sycamore tree that I found in a park in Shanghai, China. I later found that sycamores are native to North America.
Artist Residency at Anderson Ranch
Posted: October 11, 2011For the next ten weeks I will be living and working at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado as an Artist in Residence. I feel honored to be chosen for the privilege of working and learning in this gorgeous part of the Rocky Mountains. I hope I can begin by working with Aspen trees in my circumambulatory portrait mode. At the same time I want new work be influenced by the environment I will be living in.
Sawtooth Oak
Posted: October 7, 2011
The photograph for the Sawtooth Oak was taken from a tree in the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. The bark is figured to easily suggest its name.
Persimmon
Posted: October 7, 2011
Persimmon is an image of Persimmon tree trunk made from a variation on my hand colored, screen print on ceramic technique. Here I am making a vitreous engobe as my screened media rather than printing, bisque firing and glazing.
