I am about to start one incredible summer after one incredible fall/spring.
I plan on spending a majority of my time hashing out ideas for my thesis and finishing up some loose ends on projects started this spring.
I will be interning here a couple days a week and am so looking forward to being around the awesome collection of insects.
So, yeah, that's about it for now.

Updates: Bird & Bee Press
I'm almost finished with my first two books as bird & bee press.
The first is a trio of chapbooks about the mandrake, dragonfly, and hummingbird. They were offset printed by Lori Spencer in the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts at UArts.
The second is a guide book to insects, printed in palladium with letterpressed text.
I'll post picture once they are complete!

Project: The House
So, last semester I made 17 paper houses. This semester I'm building 4 fabric houses, much larger.
This project will be in the WIP show.
These are pictures of me figuring out how the hell to build a house. The final four will not be this big.

Updates: Spring Semester 2009
I've begun my second semester at UArts. This semester should be quite productive.
We've got a Works In Progress show coming up in March. I've got a few ideas roaming around in my head for that show. I'll be working on creating a large scale paper house that involves a sound piece. I'm also working a series of images in gum bichromate that will be included in a Natural History Field Guide.
I'm taking a book structures course with Carol Barton and Jude Robison that I'm really excited about. We'll be learning different pop-up structures, tunnel books, and box structures. I'm also taking an advance non-silver photography course.
I'm also interning at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania this semester 1 day a week in the conservation lab. So far I've been making multi-use boxes for a group of books. I'll post all the projects from the internship as the semester goes on.

Project: Natural History Field Guide
For this spring semester, I'm putting together a Natural History Field Guide. I'm creating images of insects, plants, and perhaps other animals (mostly birds, probably) and pairing them with myths and folklore.
The first images I'm working on are insects. Here are the light resists for what will soon be gum bichromate prints. The insects are created from onion skins, glue, and acrylic paint.
