Botanical Exposures   are archival pigment prints in limited edition on  paper that explore concealed natural worlds inspired by the flora in my garden in western Sonoma County, California, and by my travels to Bali and coastal Maine.  My close observations create a partnership between art and  botany much like dance partners where one alternately leads and the other alternately follows revealing  unexpected synchronicities.

Vertical Cycles, Paris (2016) Archival digital print in limited edition 11 × 5 in

  
Vertical Cycles, Paris  is from an on-going series, initiated over 30 years ago, which exploits the "faults" of simple plastic cameras. The limitations of this Imperial Savoy camera such as the manual film advance that overlaps frames on the roll film-- provide the kinetic energy of the shot which is orchestrated entirely in camera.  The image is edited "in the camera" keeping the original negative roll intact.
