In graduate school, I worked primarily with photography, digital imaging, and video. In 1997, I was hired as founding faculty of Art at the Vancouver campus of Washington State University, serving as Program Leader for nearly three decades.
My research is grounded in reprographic technologies spanning pre and post-digital eras. Using a process that involves arrangements of found, altered, and made objects, I create images of objects (and images not of objects), with and without the use of lenses. These various constructions of “unsharp boundaries” have been installed in shopping malls, libraries, hiking trails, drive-through bank-teller windows, parking strips, and the Pacific Ocean. Some of the images have been featured on album covers (vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and digital releases), as there is frequently a formal connection to music and sound.
I have taught over 20 different catalog listings for WSU. My regular teaching duties include 2D and 3D design, photography, digital art, printmaking, and sculpture.
