Title: "The Gardener"




Title: "The Nest"




Title: "The Handyman"


Details: These are life size photograms of my parents on fabric. They are part of a larger project titled, "What We Leave Behind", documenting my parents and the things they would leave behind when they moved into a nursing home.

I placed the cyanotype fabric on a queen size bed in my garage, my parents lay on top of the fabric and then I wheeled them out into the sun for an exposure. I wheeled them back into the garage, they got off the bed and I added items into

the white unexposed areas where their bodies had been

and then wheeled it back into the sun

for a short second exposure.

Title: "In Situ"

**



Title: "Still"

**



Title: "Triangles"


Details: These are all cyanotype on watercolor paper. These prints are from the art educators' retreat in 2019 where I first tried cyanotype technique in a workshop with Kevin Rose Schultz and Trish O'Brien Korte.

I used the Jacquard two-part sensitizer kit to prepare watercolor paper.

For In Situ, I slid the paper into some weeds up against a building and let it sit, vertical, in the morning sun, no glass.

Still was made with a plexiglass plate I had drypoint-engraved with an original drawing (my first time trying this technique, which I had seen in an educator workshop at the

Indianapolis Museum of Art with Christopher Nunn).

For Triangles I used layers of tracing paper I had drawn on and cut.

Title: "A Dash Of This, A Little Of That"


Details: Cyanotype using precoated paper, snowball viburnum blossoms,

vinegar, various spices from my kitchen

**




Title: "New Kid"


Details: One of my first attempts at cyanotype, and I'd been feeling

kind of like an impostor. Like I was the simple and obvious one among

more graceful and delicate peers.

**



Title: "My Sister, The Artist"


Details: Cyanotype made using a doily crocheted by my sister. This was

my first success after several attempts at paying tribute to her work.

Sponsor: WALT POLLEY




Title: “Conch Horn”


Details: This is a traditional formula cyanotype printed on watercolor paper.

It shows a chainsaw treestump carving in Galveston, Texas. In September 2008, Hurricane Ike hit Galveston with a 20 foot (6.1 meter) storm surge, driving salt water across the island, killing many large, old oak trees.

To preserve this heritage, the city contracted with chainsaw artists to create statues from the dead tree trunks throughout the city where the trees once flourished.

**




Title: “Rose”


Details: Printed on Hahnemühle Sumi-e paper, this traditional formula cyanotype depicts one of the roses found in the Longwood Gardens Conservatory. Located outside Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, Longwood Gardens is an American botanical garden.

It consists of over 1,077 acres (436 hectares) of gardens, woodlands, and meadows. It is one of the premier horticultural display gardens in the United States.

**




Title: “Sioux Dancer”


Details: Getting close to a Sioux dancer participating in the annual Wacipi (pow-wow), this traditional formula cyanotype on watercolor paper has been bleached

with baking soda and then toned with catechu.

Wacipi means "they all dance" in the Dakota language. The Wacipi is a celebration of life. Native Americans gather for a cultural and social celebration of

dancing, singing and visiting.

The Wacipi is a time for gathering together to meet old friends, make new ones, and honor those who have come before.

Title: "The Little Princess"


Details: This piece was created with a vintage girl's dress. It is one piece in a series of prints made from vintage dresses that range from the Edwardian period to the fifties. In this series I continue to explore the feminine spirit and bring a new appreciation to the details of fashions from the past.

**



Title: "Sunday Best"


Details: This work features a young girl's dress from the forties with sheer gloves. I have begun to explore the idea of using different accessories to add more character and dimension to the dresses. "Sunday Best" speaks of a time when going to church was much more formal than today.

**



Title: "Showboat"


Details: This is another in my series of vintage dresses. This one is from the early 1900's. I wanted to create some movement and so that there might be the illusion of a figure there. I believe each dress reveals a narrative about the wearer. I don't want to reveal too much about what I see, but want the viewer to imagine their own story.


In order to print garments this large of a scale, my husband built me a custom contact printing unit that I can print full-scale dresses under a large piece of glass.

It was important for me to have the details show up and that would not happen without the glass making a tight contact against the dresses that I print.

**



Title: “21 February 2021”


Details: These images are from a project I started in March of 2020, ("Hope is the Thing with Feathers”) when the first “stay safer at home” recommendations were given here in Tennessee. I started making daily Cyanolumen prints as a way to pass the time and stay hopeful during the Covid19 Pandemic. I made at least one a day and sometimes several. I used expired photo paper with cyanotype chemistry and exposed them for several hours. It became my daily meditation and an obsession that was difficult to let go of

when I ended the project one year later.

Title: "Memoria de Niñez"

**



Title: "Beautifully Restrained"

Title: The Woman That Wore This Collar


Details: In 2015, I began making cyanotype prints of collars and haven't stopped since. The inspiration behind these collars is attributed to my childhood outfits. There is a ghostly vacancy in each print I make and I am fascinated by it. The prints I am sharing for this show are a variety of my collars from the "Blue Collar" series

and vary from paper to fabric.
