Bodies of Work

• Into the Jungle

  Being a woman in a consumer society, the illusion of choice masks being put into a stereotype and having our roles, concerns, and dreams defined by the ridiculous products and ideals we buy into.

• Advertising: Interiors and Exteriors

  Exploring advertising aimed at women in interiors and exteriors. This series ties into the idea that we are constantly surrounded by reminders of how women are perceived in Western culture.

• The Signs of Our Times

  A look at some of the signs that are around us, many of them absurd, that are meant to dictate our actions.

• Pillars of the Past: A View Camera Project

  The poles intrigue me in their placement in a modern pristine setting: a reminder of old traditional methods of communication juxtaposed with our sleek cell phones and laptops.

• Architecture

  Architecture represents geometric perspective as well as point of view. Structure and architecture represent a major part of any society’s history and place in the world.

• Texture Collection

  A collection of textures of objects that I pass by every day. These tiny chunks of objects removed from their surroundings elevate them to a status worthy of consideration.

• Leave No Trace

  In most parks and public gardens there are signs that tell visitors to leave the area as they found it. These images depict the marks people leave from the tallest building to the smallest footprint.

• Special Places, Spaces, and Collections

  This project was about people’s special spaces and the things they choose to put in those spaces. How they’re arranged and displayed is also of interest to me.

• Experimental Darkroom Processes

  Experimental darkroom body of work. My favorite technique was applying developer with a paintbrush which allows you to create truly unique photographs.

• Alice

  A series of images on the theme of “Alice in Wonderland” that depicts the strangeness and choppy order of dreams.

• Workshop Series

  A series of silver gelatin prints I took in my father’s workshop. This place was an integral part of my childhood and life and my father has greatly influenced the person I have become as well as the work I do.
