These lithographs begin as charcoal drawings of found natural objects that I can hold in my hand. As I feel what I’m seeing, there is also a discovery of how these objects can suggest a larger landscape. The particular opens up to describe the somehowness of an expansive space.
I am printing on Mitsumata papers from paper lithographs. The drawings are scanned, the scans become paper copies that I treat like lithographic plates, the plates break down quickly, and all of these transformations inform the image making. Layering several prints together makes another transformation possible in the space and depth of the image.
