Handmade mezzotint books by Lanesville Press of Flora Mnemonica project
I am beyond excited that Gary Kachadourian of Lanesville Press in Lanesville New York asked if he could engrave and print some of my photographs from the flora mnemonica project using the mezzotint printing process. Four of the specimens were chosen and printed in these handmade books. So far, there has been two editions, with slightly different covers. All four images were selected because they’re native plants and have significant personal memories associated with them.
To hear me talk about those memories and maybe nab your own copy (I only have 20), come see the exhibition at NOMA Gallery in Frederick Maryland opening February 3rd. More info here.
He also surprised me with a copy of his Mummy Bags book in this last shipment:

summer work
Super excited to announce that some of my new work is featured in the August 2015 issue of The Light Ekphrastic. I was partnered with a glorious writer, Catherine Moore, to create something wonderful. Her writing was exactly the companion I needed this summer. Please enjoy these and the other artist/writer pairs found in this month’s (as well as the archived issues of) The Light Ekphrastic.
