MEMORIA
An ongoing community project in which I interview women and gender-expansive folks about their sense of place. I photograph them, print their portraits with platinum-palladium, and finally add hand-painted elements inspired by their stories. Platinum prints are created using light-sensitive chemicals, cotton paper, and exposure to the sun, an historic archival process invented in the 1800s. The minerals bind directly to the paper; therefore the prints, if properly cared for, can last thousands of years. Click on each piece to read or listen to the participants’ interviews.
Portraits have been shown in solo exhibitions at Bell Projects Denver and Art Gym Denver, and at group shows at the Art District on Santa Fe; the 41st Annual All Colorado Show at the Curtis Center; the Brinton Museum in Bighorn, WY; the Niza Knoll Gallery for MoPrint in Denver; and BRDG Project’s juried show Seed.
All pieces are 22 inches x 30 inches on 100% cotton Revere 320 gsm Platinum Paper. Click on each piece to learn more!
