My work draws inspiration from the textures and rhythms of urban patterns, architectural motifs, and remnants of urban decay. I live and work in Somerville, where I have been a resident for 22 years. I am greatly attracted to the physicality and intimacy of viewing the book form. The prints in this artists' book are made with the vintage cyanotype photo-printing technique, which enables me to combine different kinds of marks, textures, and fragments from my original photographs on a single surface. I expose my cyanotypes outdoors in the sunlight and enjoy the connection of working with the sun.
