I’m excited to announce my first solo art show! It’s a collection of shadow boxes I’ve made to illustrate a story I have yet to write – “Magic Lantern Show.” #shadowbox, #josephcornell, #bricolage, #assemblage, #collage, #victorian

Been a while since I posted a bit of WIP, but I'm pleased with this one. Surprise, surprise, it's incredibly finicky mounting a butterfly (thank heavens for YouTube for stuff like this). #shadowbox #collage #bluesky

I'm cannibalizing an unfinished (20+ years) shadow box for a new one and believe that the subject of this tintype is not entirely sure how she feels about it. OR she's pushing a smile on to her face and holding it there for the long exposure ...

I have made a NICE THING to go in a larger shadow box and am pleased with how it turned out. Made the box from scratch, cut the glass, applied the marbling, blah blah blah.

Here's the cast of the combined art / fiction project I'm plugging away at. Real old photos, not AI. Watch this space for details of my show in the Arcadia gallery later this year – "Magic Lantern Show."

I was going through some of the British Library's free online images and found this one - an 1894 engraving showing a swamp in Florida with vultures and the tiny title "Waiting for Decomposition" - well played librarians, well-played.
