Ghosts in Love is a series of etchings and text telling the story of some phenomena haunting the heart. These very improvised moments documented on film and digital video are akin to performance art. I printed the images first as fine art black and white photos in a traditional darkroom. Inspired by 19th century photogravures, I then turned the photos into copperplate etchings and printed them by hand on a press. |

A Fury Tale is an illustrated love poem reminiscent of tableaux vivants by 19th century allegorical photographers. Each piece in the series is a combination of my favorite mediums of performance, photography, printmaking and writing. Greek poets wrote about three Furies as “those who walked in darkness” and were thought to pursue sinners on earth. I photographed models acting out scenes of what might happen if a Fury from the mythical realm of the Underworld fell in love. Using a photo-etching process, I transferred the photographic image onto a copperplate and with a press printed the images onto fine art paper. click for slideshow

In her dreams is an installation that comes from 14 years of night dreams and what could be garnered from notes made the next day. These notes, as well as subsequent visions, inform what I do with the camera and how I act out these dreams before it, using a self-timer and relying on the moment—all those unframed things that a woman lives out before and after the photograph. A selection of my thesis work is included in this gallery.
