This is a digital piece I’m working on. If you watched my reel posted yesterday, you saw me taking pictures of interesting things in my environment. The first picture utilizes those pictures to create new artwork.

Mogadore Road_Sutures

16”x16”

Cyanotype, Silkscreen and hand made botanical dyes on handmade paper mounted on Canson infinity paper.

2024

Made for the Evidenced By Nature exchange portfolio organized by @kirstindunlap and @mud.n.mushrooms for the @sgcinternational

Verified by Proof Conference.

This print centers my exploration and documentation of the rehabilitation of the Mogadore Road Brownfield site in Kent Ohio.

More about this particular Brownfield site can be found here in a (dated) article from 2011 -https://patch.com/ohio/kent/a-dirty-history-of-manufacturing-at-old-lamson-and-se0b78142d7c

I am thankful to the organizers who’ve given me a little extra time and space to wrap this edition up. (It’s in route soon- I promise ).

Everything about this project has had a certain gravitas and tested the limits of my humble home studio.

Each aspect of the print, from the making of the paper and dyes to the imagery itself is rooted in the local landscape.

The fiber for the paper was a combination of recycled western rag, abaca and cattails. The dyes were made from locally sourced botanicals and the water itself was taken from my studios dehumidifier.

Processing cyanotypes on delicate handmade paper required new techniques and strategies and tinting transparent base with sensitive natural dyes was finicky. It was a joy to experiment with process and approach.

In all - I truly enjoyed this exchange and am excited to see all of the other work.

Thank you @kirstindunlap and @mud.n.mushrooms for including me!

*Thriving* Cyanotype print on Hahnemühle Harmony HP Model: Lily Nette du Bløbkhoze ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This image kind of blew me away when I got the scans back from that session, all the more so because it was a harsh session both for me and for Pauline. So getting something so powerful out of it really felt like getting paid in return for our collective effort. But the cyanotype, wow, it's got something even more powerful to it, I think. I absolutely love it... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #analogfeatures #analogphoto #analogforever #analogphotography #bnwmultiexposure #analogfilm #filmnotdead ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #multipleexposure #doubleexposure #doubleexposures #doubleexpomagazine #doubleexposurefilm #2xfilm #doubleexposurephotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyanotype #alternativeprocess #experimentalphotography #photography #art #alternativephotography #blueprint #blue #photoart #analogphotography #sunprint #alternativeprinting #worldcyanoday #todaysalternative https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLhue8olKc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Full Moon Highway (DM me if you have a new home for this art print.) One of my mentors on my artistic journey around 2000 was David Lynch. And still is. Too many reasons to explain why … You need to figure out yourself why I picked this quote to this polaroid. “I like to remember things my own way.

Album Review: Nevermind - Nirvana (1993)

This week I’ll be doing an album review of Never mind from Nirvana. I haven’t done an album review in a while, and now is the perfect time due to the 21st anniversary of the lead singer Kurt Cobain’s passing.

The Band: Nirvana started in Aberdeen, Washington. The band was formed by Lead singer/Guitarist Kurt Cobain, and Bassist Krist Novoselic. The duo met in High School, Cobain wanted to start a band with Novoselic, however he didn’t say yes till 3 years later. The band searched for a drummer, until finding Chad Channing. In 1989, the trio released their first album, Bleach, while under the label sub-pop. The album became a success as it played on college radio stations, as well as the band playing on their national tour in 1989. While preparing for recording, Channing left the band due to disenchantment. In 1990, the band added drummer Dave Grohl, before recording never mind. After the release of never mind, the band was entered in the mainstream. The first single,” Smells like teen spirit” was gaining popularity, due to playing on MTV and radio shows. The album sold 400,000 copies, and it was number 1 on the billboard charts, beating Michael Jackson. In 1993, the band started recording their third album, In Utero. After In Utero was released, the band dealt with success of the album as it sold over 3 million copies, and landed number 1 on the billboard charts. However, Cobain has had struggles with success and fame during the success of In Utero. He felt uncomfortable with his personal life being a main topic of the media, and hated being a role model of the generation. He got into heroine along with his wife, Courtney Love. However he struggled with the addiction, as well as struggled with depression and fame. On April 8th, Kurt Cobain was found dead due to a shotgun wound to the head. It was one of the biggest deaths of that generation, and of music. After the death of Cobain, Novosolic and Grohl

The Album: Never mind was one of the best albums in the 90s. The album opened many doors for Nirvana in the mainstream. The album also scored number 1 on the billboard charts, beating Michael Jackson. Containing badass guitar riffs and memorable lyrics, this album spoke for the 90s generation. Whether you were born in the 90s, or born in the millennium, you knew about Nevermind, and you knew about Nirvana.

1. "Smells Like Teen Spirit“– Smells like teen spirit is the perfect album opener, and everyone’s favorite album. It has killer guitar riffs that open the song, and the lyrics are badass,”With the lights out, it’s less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us…” I give so many props to Cobain and his lyrics. The music video is memorable as well, and one of the best music videos as well.

2. "In Bloom" – Another favorite song of mine (It’s obvious I love every song in the album). Another guitar riff starts the song, while the verse and chorus come in later on. The lyrics and music blend together very well. They give a deep vibe for a very deep song. The music video says a lot as well. The band performed the song while having a 60s tv show vibe. I love the music video for the creativity, and having the inspiration of the Beatles.

3. "Come as You Are" – This song is pretty good, and I love the lyrics for the song. Once again, the lyrics blend really well with the music. “Take your time, hurry up. Choice is yours, don’t be late…” Those lyrics have a really deep meaning in the song.

4. "Breed" – This song is another favorite of mine. It’s raw, aggressive, the guitar solo is badass.

5. "Lithium" – I love this song so much, this song is my absolute favorite. I love everything about this song, from the beginning guitar riffs, to the lyrics. Its clear Cobain is at his deepest in this song with lyrics like, “I’m so ugly, but that’s okay, cause so are you…”

6. "Polly" – This song has a raw, acoustic guitar vibe. You can hear the drums echoing in the background, but the song mainly focuses on Kurt and his guitar. The lyrics are about a girl

7. "Territorial Pissings" – Another song in the album that I love. It’s really fast and raw. I really love Krist’s intro before the song because it has a lot of energy and starts the song strong. And the lyrics are fast and raw and give energy to the song as well.

8. "Drain You" – One of the songs that is very interesting. The lyrics blend with the music and the guitar licks. The interesting part is when the song goes into a break and slows down, only to go back to the start. It’s a head banging song, which gets fans to love the song from start to finish.

9. "Lounge Act" – Another song that is very interesting. The song starts with the bass line, which then goes to the verse. The best part about the song is when goes from low to raw in minutes. You can hear the raw and strain from his voice.

10. "Stay Away" – This song is in the same category as Territorial; it starts with the drums and goes into absolute rock out mode. It gives a bunch of energy, and it’s not hard to rock out to this song.

11. "On a Plain" – Another fast and raw song. The lyrics are also raw and blend with the song as well. Although there’s a moment where the song slows down for a minute and then goes back to regular tempo. This song is another personal favorite of mine.

12. "Something in the Way – This song is very deep and raw. Even though it contains the trio, you can mostly here Kurt and his guitar. You can definitely tell the emotion Kurt is bringing in this song.

Overall, this album is an absolute classic. It’s an album all fans, new and old, can look up to, and for guitarists that need inspiration. I give so many props for Kurt and the rest of Nirvana for writing the music and lyrics, due to the music and lyrics blending so well together. This album is the absolute best of the 90s. Nirvana has not left music history, as so many musicians today look up to the band. And Kurt will never be forgotten, as he is also someone who many people look up to. Nirvana will never be forgotten.

I am perfectly ok with making fun of myself when I do something wrong. In this case, I posted this piece this morning and never noticed that half of the picture wasn’t there (see previous post). Aaaaanyway, here now is the true piece intact. 🔷 #minimalistphotography #bnwmood #abstractphotoart #todaysalternative #paintingwithcamera #abstrait #alternativephotography #a_2nd_look #paintingphotography #camerapainting #wscranmore #pnw #portlandartist #artprocess (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfcvRBUP48T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

**swipe left to see more** I don’t consider myself a photographer. That’s an art form beyond my capabilities. I do take shots of various things I see in order to spark ideas in my paintings though. For the most part, I don’t really post these pictures much because like I said, they’re meant for reference. Today I decided to post a few that I dig. If you follow my paintings, you might see some similarities. 🔷 #abstractphoto #abstracture #abstractphotoart #todaysalternative #paintingwithcamera #abstrait #alternativephotography #a_2nd_look #paintingphotography #camerapainting #wscranmore #pnw #portlandartist #artprocess (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeWQiGxLp8d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*Straight Shooter* Cyanotype print on Hahnemühle Harmony HP Model: Lara ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One thing I discovered while shooting the Photosynthesis project is how much self-confidence transforms a portrait. I think this is so evident in this image of Lara looking straight at the camera. There's a sense of assurance and (dare I say) power that exudes from this image. This was a tricky cyanotype to get right (a lot of the texture got lost in the printing) but I finally nailed it (I think). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #analogfeatures #analogphoto #analogforever #analogphotography #bnwmultiexposure #analogfilm #filmnotdead ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #multipleexposure #doubleexposure #doubleexposures #doubleexpomagazine #doubleexposurefilm #2xfilm #doubleexposurephotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyanotype #alternativeprocess #experimentalphotography #photography #art #alternativephotography #blueprint #blue #photoart #analogphotography #sunprint #alternativeprinting #worldcyanoday #todaysalternative (à Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqIpz_LIPRe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*Partial Blue* Cyanotype print on Hahnemühle Harmony HP Model: Dylan ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a somewhat structured approach to what I call inverted treetops these days, so it's interesting and inspiring to see that when I didn't really know what I was doing, I was getting really interesting results as well. I've been meaning to cyanotype this one for a while, happy with how it came out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #analogfeatures #analogphoto #analogforever #analogphotography #bnwmultiexposure #analogfilm #filmnotdead ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #multipleexposure #doubleexposure #doubleexposures #doubleexpomagazine #doubleexposurefilm #2xfilm #doubleexposurephotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyanotype #alternativeprocess #experimentalphotography #photography #art #alternativephotography #blueprint #blue #photoart #analogphotography #sunprint #alternativeprinting #worldcyanoday #todaysalternative https://www.instagram.com/p/CqAmfKlI9R4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*Aspiration* Cyanotype print on Hahnemühle Harmony HP Model: Sandise ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've written before about my struggles to find male models, and even more to find diverse male models. So when Sandise got in touch a few weeks before I left Hong-Kong I immediately booked a shoot with him even though I no longer had my own studio and I was heavily into final packing. I was so pleased with the results. I hadn't tried this one on cyanotype yet, and I think it works really well... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #analogfeatures #analogphoto #analogforever #analogphotography #bnwmultiexposure #analogfilm #filmnotdead ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #multipleexposure #doubleexposure #doubleexposures #doubleexpomagazine #doubleexposurefilm #2xfilm #doubleexposurephotography ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyanotype #alternativeprocess #experimentalphotography #photography #art #alternativephotography #blueprint #blue #photoart #analogphotography #sunprint #alternativeprinting #worldcyanoday #todaysalternative https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2zgxNIIdP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
