Artist Statement
The narrative impulse is strong in my work. I’ve always been torn between writing and visual art. For me, the fundamental mystery is the passage of time, the invisible medium we live within. I want to arrest an illuminated point in time and encapsulate it in glazes of gum arabic and sensitized watercolor pigment with a veil of cyanotype cast over it.

A Non-Silver Manual
I have decided to stop publishing A Non-Silver Manual and to make the text available to anyone who might find it helpful for free. Malin Fabbri, in Sweden, formatted my text for her excellent alternative photography website. Click through to read or download from the alternative photography website.
