Always great to get a new project editioned and ready for transport. This project ended up broken into two components: a risograph-heavy broadside with letterpress and an exclusively letterpress printed small edition. Risograph and letterpress on coverstock, edition size 125Lettepress…
My friend and long-time collaborator, Éireann Lorsung has a new book coming out in January 2027, titled Pink Theory! She has tasked me with designing and printing a broadside for the new book. I’m working with public-domain imagery on this…
I recently started a new position at the University of Arizona as the (extra long title drum roll) Printmaking/Letterpress/Publishing Lab Technician. A first task has been getting up and running with the Vandercook SP-15 proofing press. This is a press…
Only in Tucson, Arizona do you take a walk down the street, catch what should be a coming thunderstorm evaporating above you… and see that someone has abandoned an Alfa-Romeo directly in front of you. There is a feeling of…
A walk through the Feldman’s neighborhood in Tucson turns up this curious piece of graffiti. “GAYMEN” in all capitals. Along with one singular swastika.
In America (1986), Baudrillard observed that the American smile is not an expression of genuine happiness but a kind of social contract — a permanent, obligatory display of openness and goodwill. It signals “I am not a threat” rather than…
Difficult images are a particular preoccupation of mine. Following Susan Sontag’s framework, I use “difficult” to mean images that are emotionally or morally demanding to look at — images that resist passive consumption and implicate the viewer, the maker, and…
Image of a white geodesic dome resting on flat ground like an artifact from a future that never arrived. Utopia doesn’t always recede; sometimes it becomes an iconic form. The geometry is declarative, almost didactic—a structure that believes in efficiency,…
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” — Buckminster Fuller I found this earthen home pressed into the prairie hillside in Northern Nebraska. This house…
A moment in the Portland Airport, reflecting on Foucault’s concept of heterotopia and Augé’s notion of non-places. Continuing to experiment with adapting older lenses onto a contemporary mirrorless body. In this case, I’m using a Canon 50mm SSC f1.4 lens…
Image made of the topography maps of Orcas Island in Washington. Obscured by collected water and condensation, the map becomes as abstruse as the landscape in the mist.
Photograph of a stationary travel trailer patched, repainted, and marked by repeated dark motifs along its windows. The image operates as a comparative surface in which manufactured tones and atmospheric color coexist but do not resolve. The structure can be…
Photograph of a wooden gate marked by a blue arrow aligned against an open sky. The image functions as a comparative device: an informal cyanometer in which pigment and atmosphere are read against one another. Historically, cyanometers measured the sky…
Photograph of the La Farge Library building in Santa Fe, NM under clear sky. Painted form and atmosphere align in hue. The image operates as a comparative surface rather than a view: an informal cyanometer in which architectural blue is…
Translation of a photographic image from the Liberal Hooker Corridor project into a carved surface. The act of re-drawing slows the photographic process and converts a contemporary structure into a patterned, repeatable flattened form. The print functions as a secondary…
