Places of Magic
Through my travels, I have had the good fortune to visit places that contain a deep sense of power and mystery: Stonehenge, the Great Pyramids, Native American Pueblo Ruins, and the Southwestern Desert, where I was born. These images are about magic– about my attempt to capture and make visible the invisible yet strongly felt spirituality that resides in these special places.
Each image begins as a non-silver cyanotype & gum bichromate photograph printed on watercolor paper, to which I add watercolor, acrylic paint, colored pencil, and chalk pastel. Through my use of photography and mixed media, I am able to portray my subjects photographically, while still revealing the marks of my hand as the maker.
