Printmaking

Sun

A screen printed animation created by filming all scenes, editing it down, burning all 450 frames into a 4'x3' screen, printing all frames at once, and finished with the laborious process of scanning and editing all the frames back in place. This piece is nominally about the journey of the sun waking up every day, but more so it speaks to the process of creating and the labor that went into the work itself.

in motion

12"x8"

Drypoint prints created from frames of a video I produced show the layered movement of the subjects hands and face.

decay

12"x18"

Woodblock reduction prints created using stippling to show the decay of a house through layering and through time. This print was created in four layers, with each subsequent layer being a house in further stages of decay. The stippling—creating by hammering nails into the wood block—created a feeling of decay by damaging the block as I went.

laser cut

Large scale laser cut prints (2'x3') created from my photography and used as the cover or an orihon book (see below).

breakdown of a day

Orihon made up of 14 individual prints (laser etched woodblock) on a single piece of paper showing the progression of the sky though a day and the destruction of time.
In order top to bottom: night through morning, midday through evening, evening through the end of the world. The second-to-last two pages are made up of 16 prints on top of one-another with increasingly darkening ink (starting from red and adding blue and black).
I take photos of light in peoples' windows at night; I find these little glimpses into peoples' lives fascinating, so I decided to take one of my photos and turn it into a million little worlds of my own.

Below are individual sample prints on single sheets of polaroid-sized paper.
