Cyanotype Shorts: Impression, The Painter, Bliss

Artist Statement

The words weave through the art. The art holds the thought. Dreams emerge, wash on, displace. Within the confines of each nine-by-nine-inch square live indelible worlds—stories told within a moment or over time. Cyanotypes, monoprints, binding fabric, thread, words typed out on an old Remington—this sense of a single story told.
