![]() ![]() These pieces are a demonstration of my love for process and printmaking, as well as the microscopic world. These pieces are experiments on optical shifts, attempting to catch and preserve the surprising depth contained in the minuscule quantities of water on a slide.The work is fresh and untested. The unusual circular boundaries of my frames emulate the microscopes lens, as well as portals into different worlds while the windows through magnification create a tension between the controlled boundary of the box and the expanding world visible only in sections within. ![]() The three dimensional displays aim to continue this conversation, and create a visual and poetic language about magnification. Through colographs, etchings, and silkscreens, printed and waxed for translucency, I merge and mix mediums experimenting in order to shift the viewers relationship from a two-dimensional experience into one reflective of the in and out of focus shifts of a microscope. My current works seeks to unveil the magic swimming and spiraling around us by making the viscera and essence of the micro large and available but without losing the sensation of awe these living organisms inspire in me. There is a multitude of life in every drop of water. I’m fascinated by the shift in focus of the microscope, conveying vast depth in a water sample a fraction the size of a penny. I was blown away by the shapes, movement and whimsy of these alien looking creatures! Our collaboration continues, as well as my investigation into slightly more abstract observations of these organisms and the “world” they live in. During the residency we collected water samples from local bayous and under the scopes at Tulane began the exciting task of discovering what lives in our local fresh water. The popularity of AI, such as ChatGPT, is adding to these fears. Some Tulane professors are returning to paper and pencil exam formats to avoid fears of online cheating and plagiarism. Tims experience spans 12+ years in leading mid-market professional services firms, HLB Mann Judd and William Buck, followed by 3+ years as the CFO of integrated Healthcare provider, SMS Healthcare. Paper exams make comeback amid artificial intelligence uncertainty. Fueled by a residency at A Studio in the Woods- Flint and Steel- I have been working with a Microbiologist at Tulane University, Tim McLean. Tim is a Chartered Accountant and Chief Financial Officer with over 15 years of experience working in and with SMEs. ![]()
