Printsource Preview

I've been furiously working on new designs for Printsource which is happening in NYC on April 12 and 13. Some of the work I create by hand usually starting with a line drawing or painting. Other work is created entirely on the computer. I hope to have 100 prints by April 2 so I've been working furiously. Here's a preview.

Evidence of the Hand

I'm starting a new series of photographs called "Evidence of the Hand" and eventually want to do a show on this subject. It concerns looking at the handwork involved in making whether it be a sweater, or a piece of art.

beads and threads

Here are pictures from the first series in Evidence of the Hand. I found a beat up sweater at Goodwill by the pound. The lining was shot but I decided to upcycle the beads and save the beautiful beaded handwork for use on something else. I even love the label inside the sweater.
