Recently I was awarded a grant through the New School where I have taught for the last 4 years. This is funding goes towards the making of my first artists’ book. I began my journey by taking a workshop with Anne Eder at the Penumbra Foundation to learn how to work with phytograms and lumen prints. This fascinating process uses plant chemistry. Below are some of my first experiments.

The following group of images are examples of lumen prints and contact prints from the phytograms above. I experimented combining plastic packing with the botanicals.
