Demo, 12 × 12
A tactile study in demolition and transformation of something hopeful, but fleeting. This mixed media piece was created by layering and sanding remnants of a 1970s record jacket marked “Demo - Not For Resale” with layers of acrylic paint. The canvas was ‘demoed,’ and filled with a filament weave as a support for black paper pulp.
Beneath the surface, one can see a second layer of handmade paper from another black and white record jacket, evoking the rubble beneath. This bottom layer is also visible from the back of the piece in the frame.

Stratigraphic Memories, 12 × 12
Stratigraphic Memories is a meditation on the cycle of reuse. Hand-cast recycled paper represents a physical archive, creating a new history. Fragments of botanically printed paper act as "fossils" within the strata, weaving moments of nature into a textural record of time and memory.

Residual Harvest, 16 × 16
Residual Harvest reimagines the final chapter of Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork journey as a tactile landscape. Built within a walnut ink-stained catering tray, this work presents a geography of the discarded, featuring hand-processed papers made from asparagus fiber, lemongrass, and celery stalks. The composition is anchored by a paper towel "bloom" dyed with onion skin, set against layers of stiffened cotton dinner napkins transformed with avocado pit and pomegranate skin dyes. Hand-twisted cordage of leek leaves and banana peels trace movement across the piece, inviting curiosity into the adventure of transformation. By repurposing these structural fibers and culinary remnants, the work honors the resilience of our regional bounty, turning artifacts of a meal into a permanent, textural study of the land.

Life Finds a Way, 12 × 16, SOLD
Consider nature’s relentless pursuit of continued existence - we all have to find that way forward. In Life Finds a Way, cotton and abaca fiber pulp treated with cyanotype pushes through a metal grid, finding its way. Background is 100 plant-based fiber paper from American Pokeweed.
Like Minded, 10 × 20
We tend to gravitate toward people whose thinking mirrors our own. As a result, we form connections that can be supportive and affirming - but can also lead to confirmation bias.
Like Minded is a connected diptych that explores this aspect of human nature through handmade paper (cotton and abaca) cast onto strings and suspended across two fabric covered cradled boards.
