Printmaking

Before I worked in sculpture and installation, I was a printmaker, having honed myexpertise at Triple Stamp Press in Richmond, where I worked for ten-years as a professional screen-printer. My personal print-work is often a layered exploration of historical photographs the reveal-and obscure-truths found in history. The Erasure Poetry Prints were made in collaboration with Morgan Thomas, who wrote these only by erasing portions of actual legislation surrounding gender.
