I am pleased to share with you my latest work, Mink and Sycamore, part of my Flora and Fauna series.

| Mink and Sycamore |
I am interested in the small
mammals that make their homes near my suburban habitat in Pennsylvania. I enjoy
catching glimpses of them, and am saddened but also intrigued by their eventual
demise and their skeletal remains. Mink and Sycamore is the latest in a
series that uses macro photos I take of the skulls, printed as cyanotypes, then combined with botanical prints from the area I observed them in. It’s a bright
and somewhat cheerful momento mori.
