Recent lumens made with vintage Agfa paper. Each one is unique, reacting to time, light, temperature, humidity, paper type, and subject. Still working on my 365 lumen project for 2026.

Another cyanotype workshop Mississippi WMO on the books! The students did lovely work. We gathered botanicals by the River, arranged our compositions, then developed our blue prints. Everyone had fun outside and making with their hands. Mississippi Watershed Management Organization also has public River access which made the experience really special. Thanks for having me Mississippi WMO!

LOCATION:

ARTIST STATEMENT:
The title for this exhibition is inspired by the Hebrew word, mikvah, which translates as a “gathering of waters.” The word is mentioned in our creation story, but it also refers to a Jewish ritual bath containing a local collection of natural, “living” water. Designed for immersion to achieve spiritual purification and to mark moments of transition, the mikvah has been used for millennia, serving as a powerful, ancient symbol of life, rebirth, and transformation, connecting Jews to both our past and to place.

The Mississippi River is a mikvah, a gathering of waters. It is also a sacred living relative of the Dakota people. Wakpá Taŋka, the Great River, connecting all waters and all life in Mni Sóta Makóčhe and beyond.

This installation work is multi-sensory and interactive, exploring how we live with theRiver and how the River lives with us. Employing photography, sculpture, sound, and scent, the work is site specific, focusing on the urban watershed. Each component is visually and materially sourced from the River: urban landscapes viewed through water, a cascade of River currents captured on silk, sound recorded beneath the water’s surface, and a scent inspired by collected river samples. In this context, the process of
making is a collaboration, embracing water as a storyteller.

Stewardship is built upon an ethic of care, requiring intimacy - close looking, listening, and smelling. This work opens a door, enlarging the imagined space for the self to sense with the River. Through intimate visual, aural, and olfactory landscapes, one sees how the water sees, moves, hears, and absorbs us. Through sensual attunement, invisible ecological relationships become perceptible, ultimately revealing how we witness, co-habit, and co-evolve with each other. One can then continue this
human/water conversation by writing messages to the River which are later released back to her.

Taught a cyanotype workshop to a group of lovely people this weekend Mississippi WMO Stormwater Park. We went by the Mississippi River on a foggy and misty Saturday afternoon to collect botanicals and other found objects. We then used what we found to arrange, expose, and develop our blue prints. Connecting process to place with slow, intentional making.

Just got my 120mm film scans, images created Forgan Arts Centre in Scotland during my recent summer residency with The Sustainable Darkroom. I tried out my new Holga panoramic pinhole camera with Portrait 400 film, and these were the results. Pretty excited about the results!

Announcing that I will be participating in an upcoming group exhibition, “Memory Against Forgetting,” with FotoMatter Form + Content Gallery.

My piece entitled, “Jamming Signal,” is a response to those who abuse power - individuals who want to be seen, to be worshipped, and to be remembered at any cost. By layering hundreds of screenshots, themselves copies of copies, the hyper-visible is slowly blurred, obfuscated, degraded, and obliterated. This is a process of adding to subtract, flattening, and testing the limits of photographic representation. This is an anti-memorial.

“MEMORY AGAINST FORGETTING” is on view Form + Content Gallery from June 25 to August 1, 2026.

OPENING RECEPTION: Sunday, June 28, 2pm - 5pm.

“Memory Against Forgetting” is a group exhibition of works by FotoMatter artists. The exhibition title is inspired by a quote from the Czech novelist Milan Kundera:

“The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.”

Kundera’s words remind us that memory is not passive. Remembering, whether personal, cultural, political, or historical, can be a form of resistance. Power often relies on erasure, silence, or the rewriting of narratives. To remember is to push back against that forgetting and to preserve identity, experience, and truth.

The works included in this show span across lens-based photography, alternative process, installation, participatory work, book arts, and time-based media — a representation of the diverse practices of FotoMatter collective artists.
