This series explores memory, illusive and transitory, the footprint of something just past, just out of reach. Images such as old family photos and x-rays are collected and layered with handmade paper or sheer fabric. Alternative photo processes of Van Dyke brown and cyanotype allow for multiple printing so that traces of earlier layers can be seen under the surface image reflecting the passage of time. The artist uses the flexibility inherent in the processes to layer image upon image, fragment upon fragment, thereby achieving a synthesis of pattern; texture and abstraction.
