StillScapes, the series This project was produced with the support of the Minnesota State Arts Board in the summer of 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Because I couldn’t show and share this work in person I’ve made a short demonstration video on how to print a photogravure, in this case using à la poupée, a technique for making color prints by applying different ink colors to a single printing plate. Below are the prints from the series.
All prints are 10”x10”, duo-toned photogravure, hand printed with Charbonnel ink on warm Hahnemuhle Copperplate paper.
‘Las Flores de Oaxaca’ series This body of work explores the flora found in the center of Oaxaca. These cyanogravures were first cynaotypes and were transferred to the polymer photogravure process.

‘SEEING THROUGH’ series “The vantage point of looking down and looking up, is used to good effect; in making each side of the diptych fully integrated, and inter-dependent—as a diptych should be. Time and place is ambiguous, reminding me of the exquisite Equivalents photographs by Alfred Stieglitz. This is a photograph that takes time to reveal itself, and one that I suspect will continue to resonate and alter in its storytelling.”
