Hot off the Press
In this color poem series, I explore color using a unique printing process I developed that produces two prints simultaneously from a double-sided printing plate. Plates are constructed with paper coated on both sides with ink, cut into strips of varying widths and lengths and woven into a geometric composition. The color strips on the front side are woven in search of a balanced and unified composition. It’s only when its printed, the back side is revealed.
Each a pair of prints is a duality: order and chance, chaos and control, conventions and invention. Each pair represents impressions from both sides of the same plate. One side of the plate is a harmonious interplay of colors, carefully composed through the lens of color theory and the dynamics of color interaction. The other side unfolds as a serendipitous result—a chance composition that embraces the dual nature of artistic creation: the intentional and the spontaneous.

Recent Happenings: Alchemy of Color at Merge–Stone Ridge
I recently showed my Recto Verso duotypes for the Alchemy of Color show at Merge–Stone Ridge in Stone Ridge, New York alongside Patricia Sonnino and Eva Lundsager. We built show around the intersection of color in our practices and how each of us implements color in our work. Find out more about Merge’s upcoming shows on their website.
