Songs of Disaster and Forgiveness
Songs of Disaster and Forgiveness is a series of black and white images encompassing still life, found images and text, and urban landscape. Shot on monochrome instant film with a toy Instax mini camera, the images are scanned and then lightly edited. Each image is quite small, approximately 3” x 5”, and is printed on 13”x 18” paper where it hovers over an expanse of white. Many images are double exposures, embracing chance and intuition, treading the thin line between anticipation and failure, embracing and releasing. The images exist in a realm of suspended time, dream time. Not unlike the experience of grief, the images inhabit the fraying seam which binds remembrance to forgetting. Fragments of words and phrases, found in poetry, letters, song lyrics, and art books, are also included as separate images. They, themselves, seem half-recalled, as if overheard from a room very far away. Words and images whisper to each other, telling a story that presses near even as it can’t quite be grasped, a story incomplete and forever on the verge of disappearing.
Images available as limited edition archival inkjet prints. (To learn more about all images or to order, contact me.)

Post Meridian
Meridian is a word that functions in different realms: time, direction, the literary, and medicine. Time: noon. Direction: relating to or situated at a meridian: the meridian moon. Literary: of the period of greatest splendor or vigor. Medicine: in acupuncture, one of twelve pathways in the body through which vitality is said to flow.
In his book, Italian Hours, in which he described his youthful Grand Tour of Italy, Henry James remarked thus: “In Siena, everything has moved past its meridian.”

Ars Longa
A museum in our minds, we each carry one. Or several. Perhaps yours is an art museum. Or perhaps not. Not all affinities can be shared. But that’s okay, too.
The permanent collection, in this museum in our minds, is never fully on display. The viewing hours can be eccentric as well, since the permanent collection is a personal one. Rules of ownership apply. (Just say it - not all can gain admission.) Some works remain hidden deep in storage vaults. Others suffer damage in need of careful restoration. The permanent collection is being painstakingly curated and acquired over a lifetime. Not everything in the permanent collection is a masterpiece, but not every piece needs to be, either.
Oh! But the ones that are!

Evidence Found
". . . And those who find you/bind you to image and gesture.
I would rather sense you/as the earth senses you . . . "
