Menagerie
  Archival pigment print, 18 x 24 inches, mounted on sentra (2010)

Like classic natural history museum displays with hand-painted scenic backgrounds, each protagonist is a liminal being, caught between the make-believe of the diorama and the photograph that documents its existence.  
 
         
       
 

Ceramic sculpture
  "The Incredible Edibles" were created during a residency at the Kohler Arts/Industry Program at the Kohler Company in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in 2007. Each work is slip-cast vitreous china. Handcolored set was produced in editions ranging from 5 to 20 pieces. The Black Set is unique. A series of charcoal drawings were created in 2009 to accompany the sculptures.
