Print on BFK paper: 22" x 18" Lignes de Vie – memories of my father this is my most recent series (2014-2015). I produced these prints working with a series of photographs I made during the last couple of years of my father’s life With these prints I hope to capture the essence of the man through objects that were part of his daily life. The text represents his own reflections and his writing included in a small book completed at the end of his life, which he called “Lignes de Vie.” Beyond the personal, these images are about dealing with loss and memory. What traces of a life remains and what shape it can take. As the one looking on I find myself remembering much more than what is depicted in each print…and I hope the work can make that same connection for others.

I work thematically developing an image and/or idea through repetition. I typically create a small run of original prints, one of a kind, within the framework of a theme. A series usually results in anywhere between 10 to 20 final pieces. Typically themes and images are drawn from what I call making “art inside the cracks,” translating visually the unspoken, the unseen, life as defined below the surface. My work draws on the personal but I’m also looking for the common links that connect us all. Titles and themes for each series are often identified through key words and bits of phrases incorporated in each print. The use of language and numbers, serves both as a graphic element and helps me label the process and group prints thematically. Most of my work, including the commissions, are informed by personal connections and imagery based on the cultures I grew up with, the languages I heard and spoke, the ideas and politics of the various communities I chose as my own. Born in France, I immigrated to the US and spent the next twenty years in New York City where I attended Parson’s School of Design to study graphics. Later I returned to Paris to spend a year at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. I left New York to move to San Francisco, where I turned to printmaking first trying out a number of techniques but quickly settling on a single print that goes through the press a number of times to create a layered and original piece. My printmaking evolved into a mixed media approach with chine collé and stencils and now with photo transfers using my own photograhy to add content and personalize the imagery.
