I spent two weeks at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, attending an artist residency program that included a class with a well known local artist.This artist taught a photo-transfer technique that was new to me at the time. This technique opened up creative avenues that had me experimenting with new materials, and ideas. Mainly this technique was a way to transfer images (from magazines or newspapers) to another surface, ie: paper, wood or most any flat porous surface.
This new way of working had me thinking about color, shape and content in a way I hadn’t before and opened up a new way of art making that has persisted to this day. You will see throughout my portfolio, I’ve created a various collections using this interesting and creative photo transfer technique, namely: Dis-Fashionate (on wood boxes)
