Dimensionality

Dimensionality is created from three different layers of sheers overlapped. I used a photograph that I had taken of a mosque in Egypt, near the Citadel. I cut out the main design into a linoleum block and printed it, then carved out more details and printed it again in a different color on a different layer, and finally carved out even more detail and then printed one more layer in a different color. I aligned the sheer layers and framed them so that it can be viewed from both the front and the back.

This piece was shown at the Massillon Museum's Stark County Artists Exhibit and in my two-person show entitled Sheer Obscurity, at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, OH.

Complexity

Complexity is created from a photo I took of a tree after an ice storm in Canton, OH. I manipulated it to abstract it in order to best highlight the intricacies of its silhouette and then adhered it to lucite panels wired together.

Prospect

Prospect is constructed with a hand-colored black and white photo I had took at Stadium Park in Canton, OH. This photo is overlayed with a sheer image of a pathway and trees, taken at Genessee Monastery in New York. I combined the two images to capture the gap between reality and desire we sometimes experience, in a grass-is-always-greener kind of way.

Lost

Lost was created with the intent of illustrating the sense of feeling lost along the journey of life. It is a self portrait of sorts at this stage of my life. It is meant to show the reflection & reevaluation that happens along the way by uniting a subtle image of a pathway, taken on a hike at the Genessee Monastery, along with a photo I took of a compass on a boat in Maine.

This piece was part of "The Company of Friends" exhibit at 2nd April galerie.

Foreshadowing

Foreshadowing was created by fusing an image from a hallway in the Grand Trianon in Versailles with a shot I took of a humble lantern on a hotel in Charlottesville, VA. I wanted to emphasize the light coming through the window and the shadow of the lantern to suggest the idea of foreshadowing of time, ambitions, and the future.

The Unknown

The Unknown was created for a group show entitled fabric-ations at Malone University's McFadden Gallery. It is created with two identical images I had photographed while on a walk at the Genessee Monastery in New York. The back layer is opaque and stitched with silver threads dangling down eerily, the front layer is a sheer image that is raised to add depth and allow movement. It is intended to create a sense of intrigue about what is to come and how we may "fabricate" our notions of the future.

This was on exhibit at Malone University's McFadden Gallery and in my two person show entitled Sheer Obscurity at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, OH. In addition, this piece was selected to be part of the juried Stark County Artists Exhibition at the Massillon Museum.  It was awarded Best in Show.

Alluring

Alluring is constructed from a shot I took at the Gethsemani Monastery in Kentucky. I manipulated it digitally and then added copper stitching to heighten the deep feel of mystery and clarity that one can experience when walking deep in a forest alone.
