Quiet photographs, made by hand

I make images and objects about stillness, memory and what it feels like to move through a place while time reshapes it.

Each piece is the result of attention, chance and repeated making.

What falls away

What falls away

This process blends cyanotype and cuprotype [copper] chemistry in a single print. The shadows form Prussian Blue. The highlights form Hatchett’s Brown that shifts warm. Two chemistries, one exposure, and the print sorts itself into cool and warm based on where the light fell.

Mixing old and new

Many of the prints shown here are made using historic print processes like cyanotype, kallitype and polymer photogravure. The work keeps the evidence of its making — edges, textures, tones — marking the hand’s involvement. The results are always one of a kind.

The slowness isn't a limitation — it's the point.

These processes reward the kind of close attention that most of the world has moved past. The finished piece carries that attention with it.
