If a middle finger willed itself to become a building, it would be this bar. This is my tribute to the Thirsty Beaver in Charlotte, NC.

Latest piece inspired by how the world feels right now. Gonna add some textural elements later but overall pretty happy with this one!

This Struggling Ray of Sunlight Is To Be Your Last for Years. From John Uri Lloyd’s Etidorhpa.
Image 1: Tone and irregularities resulting from chemical degradation. A happy accident.

Ugh, I don’t know. Feeling stuck and bored. rehashing old ideas just to keep my hands busy. It has been nearly 100F with 75% humidity for 2 weeks.

This looks so cool in person! It hovers off the backing a little bit and the shadows make it kinda ~spooky~

1: After exposure. 2: After final rinse.
This is quite underexposed and needed much longer under the UV light. Nailing exposure is 1/2 experience and 1/2 magic, especially with natural materials. At least paper has two sides 🤷🏼‍♀️

Filter paper is difficult but the results are almost worth the heartbreak. Sturdy when dry, but wet? Try to rinse out coffee grounds without ripping the filter 🫠

Walking in the back garden, I spotted two nearly-perfect wings glinting in the sun. They were a bit curled and I didn’t want to break them for perfect paper contact, but really love the softer lines where they bent up towards the light.

She was a fairy 🧚 ✨✨
Found a perfect dragonfly that passed away (hopefully peacefully) on an iris leaf in my front garden. Couldn’t lay it flat on the paper and didn’t want to squish the delicate body, but I love the dreamy, soft edges. RIP little garden fairy 🪦
