Gum Bichromate Book Has Dropped!

Christina Z. Anderson's new book, Gum Printing: A Step by Step Manual Featuring Artists and Their Creative Practice is now available in the US and internationally. I am thrilled to be included in the artist section with images and an interview. This comprehensive book on gum printing is published by Routledge Focal Press and is probably the most thoroughly researched book ever printed on the subject, featuring a truly diverse selection of work by contemporary practicioners of this slow and labor intensive printing method.

SOHO Annual Alternative Process Competition!

     My image Tooth and Claw has been selected for the Soho 2016 Annual Alternative Process Competition Show at Soho Gallery, NYC, opening November 1st!

Annual Sculture Walk in Harvard, MA!

     My creatures are out lording it over and lurking about the woods at Old frog Pond for the annual sculpture walk! Running now through October 10th, the annual event features work by sculpture artists throughout New England and I am thrilled to be in such amazing company. The venue was kind enough to use a photograph of one of my installations on the promo material, pictured here. My work is featured in two locations and incorporates my plant monsters with new ceramic artifacts. The creatures are meant to decompose over time, so I would encourage visitors to go early and then check back towards the end of the run to observe how nature begins to reclaim these materials. Info at the two links listed here. Images from the installation are in the process of being added to the Sculpture and Installation page of the website.

Photos from Longwood!

Here are a few pics from the Longwood workshop. The highlight for me was donning gaiters and getting to wade into the famous water gardens to gather materials for the workshop! I was plant-geeking out so hard! Sometimes vantage point is what it's all about and I'll never have this one again, so I have posted a photo. Many thanks to Matt Ross, Longwood Continuing Education coordinator for all the help and support. The class participants made some amazing images, of which these are just a few. What a privilege and honor to be there!

Delaware Art Museum Dream Streets Preview Event

in

     The preview event on Friday June 26th was attended by over 600 guests and emotions ran high as exhibiting artists returned to Wilmington from all over the country. The excitement of the times was reflected in the abundance of work featured, and was beautifully curated by Margaret Winslow.

     On a personal note, while I was thrilled to be included and gratified by the validation, what really made my heart full was to see Tom Watkins get the recognition and credit he deserved for being the incredible force of energy that drove the art scene at that time. If he hadn't dragged me into it kicking and screaming I might never have shown my work. He has been my long time friend and mentor and I have learned so much from him. Pictured here drawing me an impromptu sketch at the train station after the opening.

     This week I worked with Longwood Gardens to develop a workshop for their continuing education program that combines photography with horticultural focus. Next August I will present a full day of exploring light sensitive processes that utilize plant materials from the gardens! There will be a presentation on the history of employing plants to create photographs such as anthotypes and chlorophyll printing, followed by a hands on class. Mark your calendars, August 2016 will be here before you know it :)
