This collage is part of the same series that Saatchi Art featured April 27, 2020 in its 'New This Week' collection. This is the sixth and the largest in my 'Night and Day' series of collages mounted on wood panels. The metaphor of night and day, good and evil, suffering and relief, struggle and triumph, continues in the shades of deep blue night and bright yellow day. This is a time of terrible loss and injustice and corruption in the United States.There must be a better way to lead. There are new voices that must lead us. This November's presidential elections matter more than any election in the history of this fragile republic. The artist's proceeds from the sale of this piece will go to Fair Fight, an organization focused on free and fair elections in the U.S. It was founded by Georgia democrat Stacey Abrams with a mission to end Republicans' voter suppression tactics and elect more progressive voices to public office. Each of my collages is made using entirely unique hand-printed cyanotypes. These are not etchings made from a reproducible image inscribed on a metal plate or carved in a block. My botanical cyanotypes made with living plants are all monoprints. In this collage on wood panel, the colors of night and day, the good and the bad are united in one image, a reminder that day always follows even the darkest night. In combining two different images, the direction and the flow of two different prints of branches was central. The continuity of the branches‘ lines creates the sense of moving from one time to another. Each of the cyanotypes that was cut up to assemble one of my collages was a unique monotype made from plants in my garden. Cyanotypes, also known as blueprints or sun prints, are a 19th century alternative photographic process which does not require a camera lens. There is a 3/8 inch (1 1/4 cm) border of white painted wood showing around the image when viewed from the front and the four sides of the 1 1/2 inch (3 3/4 cm)deep birch cradled panel are painted white. This eliminates the need for a frame. The papers used in the collage are heavy 100% acid-free watercolor paper which will not yellow with age. The paper's surface is sealed with a transparent, matte layer of cold wax.

The distant blue hills of my “Faraway Hills” series are ever-present fixtures in my real life. Down below is the bay and above is an endless web of tree branches. Their silhouettes have etched themselves into my memory. My paintings and prints are always nature-inspired and nearly always monochromatic. Having spent a decade as a printmaker making woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, aquatints and monotypes, my mind works in monochrome. I focus on a single color, composition, positive and negative space, pattern, lines and shape. I currently work in two mediums, acrylic painting and cyanotypes, a form of camera-less photography. Cyanotypes are a 19th century form of lensless photography also known as photograms, blueprints and sun prints. They resemble block prints or etchings but use no ink nor printing press. Light “etches” the image on paper I had painted with light-sensitive chemicals. MY NEWEST SERIES OF ABSTRACT CYANOTYPES: My technique is a form of experimental photography, much like the action painters Morris Louis, who poured his veil paintings, or Jackson Pollock who dripped and drizzled his. My abstract cyanotypes are luminous like watercolor paintings but are actually photographs. Each is a multiple-exposure lensless photograph make through deliberate movements of the light-sensitive paper during exposure to light. 

Different sections of the paper were exposed to light for a longer or shorter time, yielding multiple shades of blue. Each abstract cyanotype is entirely unique. These same lines, shapes and shades of blue cannot be recreated as the exposure of the paper was heavily manipulated by me during each printing.

 A traditional single-exposure cyanotype yields a white silhouette against a dark blue background.
