Ambition

Ambition was created with a photo sensitive fabric. A transparency of a photograph I had taken of the Eiffel Tower was laid on the fabric and then exposed by the sun. I really enjoyed the process and would like to play with it more in the near future. I chose to place an overlay of steps from Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio to help portray a sense of drive or ambition.

This piece was part of my solo exhibit entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum and in a group show entitled fabric-ations at Malone University's McFadden Gallery.

Circuitous

Circuitous was a commissioned diptych that I recently completed. It was based on an earlier work, Ambiguous, that I finished last year, featuring many variations of a photograph I took of the spiral steps inside the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The top layer is a sheer overlay of the outline of the same spiral steps. It is the largest scale photo-transfer piece I have attempted to date, though now I am inspired to work larger yet!

The diptych is hanging in the new ICU waiting room at the Mercy Medical Center in Canton, OH.

Indecision

Indecision was created with a photograph I took in Versailles, France combined with a sheer overlay of a weathervane taken at a friend's house in Ohio. The two images seemed to work so well together to visually portray potential possibilities.

This was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum in 2008-9.

Resolve

Resolve is a mixed media piece created with an inverted image of steps making their way up the dune from the beach at Lake Michigan, in Holland, Michigan. The text unites with the image to explore the concept of what makes us press on toward an elusive destination.

This was exhibited at 2nd April galerie.

Ambiguous

Ambiguous is made up of manipulated images of the spiral steps inside the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. I wanted to visually process the ambiguity of discerning whether one is making progress. By flipping and overlapping the steps images, I sought to explore the dynamics of progression or growth which invariably involves a combination of moving forward and backward, up and down, back and forth.

This was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum in 2008-9, at 2nd April galerie's The View From Here show, and was shown in my two-person show entitled Sheer Obscurity, at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, OH.

Drawn

Drawn was created from a photograph of the beach in Holland, Michigan on a rather hazy July 4th. The sheer overlay image of steps was taken on a hike at Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. This combination seemed to really capture the essence of being drawn or pulled toward something, even when that destination is not fully known or understood.
