About the Artist

I use a unique hybrid analog/digital process that I pioneered several years ago. My intention is to blur the lines between painting, printmaking, and photography. By doing so I hope to portray the scenes that I photograph in a more emotional, interpretive nature. This is especially the case with my images of disappearing barns in our countrysides. I first shoot large format B&W film and make several prints in the darkroom. I then begin a long, iterative process of chemically altering these prints using wood textures, linework, etc. This is all done by hand in the darkroom and allows for color shifts and unique mark-making that changes over time. These work prints are not stable and therefore cannot be displayed. When a print has reached the ideal state of change, I cut it into large pieces and scan them at a ultra high resolution, piece them back together and create an archival digital print of the highest quality. This edition is limited to 25. Lives and works in Conway, MA.
