of breath and water

---

This ongoing series consists of rain-drenched self-portraits along with fragmented images of waves and skies that promised a deluge. These images, which appear to be simultaneously forming and unforming, were created using an assemblage of negatives from numerous and often conflicting moments. These collage-based cyanotypes might be interpreted as endless internal conversations, chaotic yet willfully quiet moments, or as a metaphorical experience of drowning. For the artist, they evoke panic but also suggest attempts to quell a situation that is not wholly apparent in the images.
