In this era of viewing digitally created images on screens, I am part of the renaissance in hand-crafted photography. Using the Nineteenth Century techniques of black and white film shot in large format view cameras and cyanotype printing, I create photographic pieces on paper in limited editions. I am drawn to the hand-crafted nature of these photographs. I live in a self-created pre-modern world full of period objects of all kinds. These authentic process lets me explore the mindset of the early photographer/scientist/collector. I’m drawn to the quality of photograph-as-object that cyanotype yields and I see the limits of these technologies as a challenge rather than a hindrance. The images in "Equipoise" are from two portfolios: “Past/Present-Memory/Loss” and “Things That Look Like the MOON (but are not the moon)”. They explore this photographer's interest in material culture, typography, storytelling and still life as portrait/self portrait. From casts of ancient sculpture through combinations of ceramic forms with words in the glazing to studies of beautiful flowers, these photographs provide a glimpse into my world.
