In From Georgia to Heaven, I use the historic cyanotype process to seek answers to questions about transcendence and the afterlife: What lies beyond human perception? Is communication between the material and ethereal worlds possible? What intangible presence exists despite a physical absence? Such questions have formed the essence of my creative search for more than 25 years.

The images are translations of natural materials from landscapes of personal resonance. They reference the real and imagined, the literal and abstract, the earth and heavens. They are borne from a desire for unmediated contact with materials—botanicals, paper, light—and a curiosity about what might manifest from the synergistic connection between those materials, my body, and my imagination. Influences include 19th century science and spirit photography, art history, cross-cultural creation myths, and training in perceptual drawing.
