My practice involves careful consideration of ritual, time, memory and place. Process and discovery have been guiding forces that link all my work, whether lens-based or cameraless. My approach is meditative and slow, which aids in cultivating a heightened awareness of how light and forms shift. Cyanotypes, the current focus, use garden and domestic objects for imaging, and are printed on various materials, often tea paper.  I save all the tea bags after the tea is drunk and the bags are finished. Once dry, they are emptied and ironed in preparation for coating and exposure. Materials are at the heart of my visual thinking, where light, form, tactility, time, place, and what hides beneath the surfaces are front and center in my approach and in the results. The melding of abstraction, narrative and conceptual all overlap, with a dose of politics and news adding to the mix. Collage and stitching are often used as a vehicle to resolve the work. And, a cup of tea is always around.
