In the Studio Post-Pandemic
It has been a relief and pleasure to retreat to my studio during the Pandemic and as we gradually come out of I have been busy with my new projects...the recycled cast paper Growth Rings and the screenprint series Wallpapers for a Warming World...all with a view to honoring nature and underlining our dependence on the natural world. In that vein I will also be conducting research on a greener screenprinting practice that embraces natural pigments and dyes rather than synthetic. I took a natural dyeing intensive workshop in August at Peter's Valley Craft School with the amazing Natalie Stopka to lay the foundation for my work with natural pigments and dyes. I am also grateful for the community and synergy of the recently formed artist collective, Cultivate Projects, seeking an expanded view of landscape in the contemporary era (for more see below).
