Lucinda at the Lily Pond Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

My work draws strongly on the landscape, focusing on domesticity in conversation with the natural world. I am attracted to the objects and artifacts that we surround ourselves with, as memory-laden emblems of our history and signifiers of the passing of time; how a sense of place can be embedded with personal history. I focus on the photographic object, the print, or the artist book as a keepsake of my experience in the world. It provides me with a very tangible and tactile way of recording my discoveries and holding onto the memories I am trying to preserve. Photographing gives me a way to capture my impressions, and writing and making books and objects lets me distill and reexamine that experience. I work in a variety of media, particularly alternative processes where the hand of the artist plays a strong role. Working in photopolymer gravure and platinum palladium gives my prints an aesthetic that speaks to the echo of memory, in a work that cements fleeting impressions in the here and now.
