Better day printing today, and I also improved on the other day by turning a lackluster print into a collage.
But first, I started a process journal with an idea I had while walking in the woods with my dog the other day.
Then I did some gelatin printing.
I need a few more tools. I’m having trouble getting the detail I want with the gelatin, which perhaps means this medium isn’t suited to my long term vision, but it’s a great way to get started and I love love love turning my kitchen into a print studio for few hours. It’s a joy to work with ink and paper.

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.
