female portraiture

Imagery and text are used to reflect on, reenvision and rewrite the history of a female-centric society. These works on paper are made using processes of lithography both on paper and beeswax (encaustic). Unless otherwise described.

retelling history

Through this series of monotypes on paper-mounted wood panels (xerox lithography hand-worked with oil stick & pencil), U.S. history is seemingly annotated to fit my personal view of the “new” world order. Photographs of familiar Philadelphian statues are combined with current and historic texts rearranged to tell stories of the marginalized – the other. Here the results give way to a calculation that factors in the before often not so heroic constants of American history.

FIGHTING INERTIA – After EMERGENCE, I became infatuated with creating plastic metal. In other words metal structures flexible enough to physically change when worn by a human being. This was also the beginning of digital video at Cranbrook and the computers could only handle 60 seconds max. In addition, I had to recreate the video frame by frame as stop action animation.
