Small sculptural artist book. Inkjet printed on fine art paper with archival inks. Uses images of buildings in Amsterdam, Netherlands

I’m fascinated by cities. Everywhere you go, there are stories to be found – and seen. Many factors go into determining the physical structure of any city and what people and events we see there. My work is about telling these stories using visual media.

A throughline in my work is portraying cities – most often Washington DC. Much of my photography has been representational art focusing on the built environment of Washington, historic change in the city,& its social & political life.

Recently, I’ve been using fractured versions of my architectural images in sculptural artist books & paper relief sculptures. My focus while making the pieces was on form and structure, and there is a certain amount of accident in my process. I can’t really predict exactly how a final piece will look until it is completed. Too much happens in the digital cutting and pasting of images and the folding and cutting of the paper. But ultimately they become an abstract portrayal of a time and place.
