Watergraphs

Watergraph was a term I invented that came from taking photographs of water reflections that have been turned upside-down. Depending on environmental factors like the wind, debris in the water, and the color of the sky, each inverted reflection created a painting in its own right framed by whatever was surrounding the water. This is part of my serendipitous quest of water reflections that range from little puddles to large bodies of water. To see how the images were originally discovered, turn your head (or your laptop, tablet, smartphone) upside-down.

Plaids

Chromogenic photographs and photograms

Plaids combines super-eight movie film and a labor-intensive, hand-made process. Each print in the series was made from dozens of individually developed and toned strips of super-eight movie film woven together, each containing a mini-narrative embedded within the film frames. These sequences feature short performances by the artist as well as frames from found footage. These images are 'photographs' of film which at first glance are abstract, referencing pixels, paintings, and textiles.

Polaroid Portraits

I have been taking Polaroid portraits for nearly twenty years and have been documenting the people of Baltimore for 6+ years. During this time, I have taken 1,000s of photos as part of this ongoing project which has resulted in two solo shows in local galleries as well as representation by Polanoir Gallery in Vienna, Austria.

My photographs document, tell stories and present questions. These photos reveal details about my friends and the people I meet. They show people the way they are and call attention to the way we can be perceived by others.
