A photogram is a shadow-like photographic image made by placing objects between light-sensitive paper and a light source. The majority of mine are made in my traditional darkroom. Garments and textiles are my favorite subjects, either standing alone or combined with elements from nature. These alluring images are ethereal and dream-like, with delicate strength and can appear strikingly three-dimensional. At first glance, the subjects seem simple against a stark background. Upon closer inspection, the delicate ribbons, lacey hems, and timeless net lace provide more to discover. Whatever the subject is, the simplicity of my photograms allows the viewer to find their own story, be it environmentalism, feminism, fashion, materialism, cultural narratives, politics, economics, or simply personal nostalgia or an appreciation of nature. To me, the photograms are first and foremost a reminder to always try to see things in a different light.
