Springtime seems so far away on a rainy May day like today....

I made these in April when the crab apples were in full bloom.

Collected Objects

Installation in a Landscape

For the land art project I decided to make an installation that would reflect the digital collage images I have working on the past few month dealing with bringing the inside outside and so I used my collection of Turkish rugs and kilims. The idea for this installation stems from my own photographic practice where I collage images from catalogs into landscape photographs. Working in the physical landscape, using my whole physical body to move the rugs around and the personal nature and meaning of the objects of using the rugs allowed me to have a better understanding of how objects work in the landscape and then within the frame of the camera.

The Gleaners of Peter's Hill

My very own gleaner's landscape. Admittedly they were foraging dandelion leaves, great in salad. They were a Greek family, grandparents, daughter, grand daughter, they carried baskets.
