Blue Alchemy is part of a new collection after a four month hiatus from my studio. I have a new city, state and studio to call home in the mountains of Blue Ridge GA. The last few months have been a period of reflection and growth with much of my time spent in nature. I’ve always loved the cyanotype process, and the fact that much of this photographic technique takes place outdoors with sun exposure makes it a medium worth exploring in this new chapter of my art-making career. cyanotype [ sahy-an-uh-tahyp ] noun: The cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces blue prints using coated paper and light. The process was discovered by the scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1842. Herschel used the cyanotype process so that he could reproduce mathematical tables along with other notes and diagrams. This particular piece was created using a white rubber sealant from the hardware store as a resistance to the cyanotype. The material was painted on the paper first and then I exposed with paper with the cyanotype process giving the piece a deep blue color. The individual papers were then cut up and collaged onto the canvas. Blue Alchemy is signed on the back and ready to hang.

Throughout my education in photography I worked to combine diverse materials and techniques with various photographic processes. That love of experimentation has continued today as I explore mixed-media collage and abstract acrylic painting in my latest body of work. My collage pieces consist of found and reclaimed paper ephemera repurposed into energetic, abstract color-scapes. I have an extensive collection of blue prints, vintage road maps, book pages, letters of correspondence and various other source items which evoke the nostalgia of my Midwestern upbringing and roots of my artistic cultivation. Inspiration is derived from the inherent meaning in these documents and when combined with layers of paint, three-dimensional objects, photo transfer, etc. I build upon the original history of the material and create an enhanced narrative. My latest body of abstract acrylic paintings uses my familiar grid motif as a compositional framework. Color theory, balance, texture, and intuition all play an important role in the creation of this work. The satisfying actions of mixing colors and applying paint with a palette knife make the process of studio time very meditative. The paintings take shape organically with each color applied meticulously to conceal or reveal the layer below. One color choice dictates the next until an overall rhythmic harmony is achieved.
