So years ago in a Martha Stewart magazine I found this image of a transferware plate with a kimono inspired/derived pattern:
I ran it through the printer after sizing it to match the page. Then I printed my “Dive” image on top.
I’m still working on the result, but here’s a work in progress- consider it a rough draft. So if I can transfer the pattern onto my panel…

My work deals with themes of human and nonhuman intelligence, and what it means to return home when the nature of home itself is nebulous and undefined. As an interdisciplinary artist with homebases in painting and printmaking, I explore the interstitial spaces between these and other media, relishing the borderlands–the slippage between idea and medium. Lens based ways of looking interact with a fierce love of materiality that echoes the earth itself, and the ways in which humanity interacts with the homeostatic systems that comprise Gaia, the living earth.
