ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Limited Edition Print "Flatbed," 1/5" Image size: 22 x 30 Paper size: 32 x 40 Canvas or paper up to 30x40" image size available as special order This print is part of a series called "Wild Things," celebrating the beauty of the urban industrial landscape in brilliant color. This particular image comes from photo explorations in the shipyards of Anacortes. I compose my prints from multiple photographic captures of the architecture, textures, weather and other elements of a particular place, blending them to invoke the dynamic process of decay and renewal. This print is composed of my original acrylic painting and photography digitally combined into a fine art print. This print is meticulously proofed and printed on Hahnemühle German Etching, using archival pigment inks rated to last for 100 years or more. The prints come with a certificate of authenticity verifying the edition number and the edition size. Prints are traditionally numbered and signed in light pencil with the number on the left and the signature on the right, just below the image. They are intended to be float-framed with no mat as shown in photos, but can be matted with an approximately 1/2 inch space all around to reveal the signature. Prints are sold unframed. The last photo shows the print on canvas and framed in silver metal as hung in a recent gallery show. Canvas prints are available as special order, size shown is 40x40".

Throughout my work I explore impermanence as it occurs in the urban landscape and in nature. My architectural prints and mixed media pieces focus on the radical reshaping of the built landscape through gentrification and de-industrialization. As we are confronted with change and our relationship to it, I am interested in the question of how much of the past we value and hold onto, and how much we let go to make the future our “now.” My work lives on the edge between nostalgia and accommodation, mediating through the elements of surface and iconic structure to a conversation about history, identity and sense of place. I have been a calligrapher and letter form artist for much of my professional art career, creating well known brandmarks for film, books and packaging. I have created custom typographic identities for Kitty Kelly, Clive Barker, Naomi Judd, and Anne Rice among others, and movie titling for Dreamworks and Walt Disney. As a fine artist I bring my passion for mark making and the architecture of letter forms into the abstract realm. I have a calligrapher's subtle sense of surface and texture, and incorporate calligraphic mark making into many of my pieces. I use photography, digital composition, printmaking, mixed media and collage, shifting as needed to suit my subject matter. I embrace new media and the infinite ways in which the analog and the digital can be shaken, stirred and poured into a new creative form.
