Since 2007 I’ve been hand printing relief abstract landscapes, still lifes and figurative works from found discarded objects.

During my everyday walks, I collect the objects. At the end of the week, I compose relief prints from that week’s cache. Colors seen during my walks determine the palette for each print series. They become a record of that time and place.

I use supermarket Styrofoam trays as printing plates. I press the found objects into the tray. I print with Akua non toxic soy-based intaglio inks. The resulting images are improvisational explorations of line quality, shape relationships, and tonal and color intensities. The juxtaposition of the objects determines what emerges.
