Workshop Notes
Five Mediums
Each one teaches what the others cannot.
The practice moves across five mediums without hierarchy — a dumpster find carries the same weight as archival paper, a halftone dot the same weight as a dovetail joint. What follows is a brief tour, in five notes, through the working vocabulary of the studio.
Silkscreens
2 PlatesOne pull at a time.
Halftone because that is how we consumed them — through screens, through dots, through distance. Ink on handmade paper; the paper shows through because transparency matters.

Collage
2 PlatesFragments lose their sources under repetition.
Eyes collected from magazines, security stills, medical diagrams, old films — scanned, printed, reprinted until origin disappears. Meaning comes from what gets held side by side.

Paintings
2 PlatesThe hand moves before the mind catches up.
Built in layers; the black is never empty — purple and blue sit underneath, waiting. Water is allowed to be a collaborator. The paper warps and stays that way.

Assemblage
1 PlateThree sheets of plywood, already cut, like they were waiting.
Found materials, made whole. Let the wood show through on purpose. The material has its own say, and the composition listens.

Sculpture
1 PlateExtraordinary form from ordinary material.
A Douglas fir 2×4 holds eight feet of possibility. Traditional joinery meets geometric logic; every angle calculated, every cut intentional.
