"The World is Astonishing with You in it: A 21st Century Field Guide to the Birds, Ferns and Wildflowers" - These are lumen prints – photograms made with black & white photo papers. This work employs three Field Guides – birds, ferns and wildflowers. I mark/expose the photographic paper, making one mark per quadrant with an edge of the respective Field Guide. The title of each image makes reference to an endangered species (#1. Henslow's Sparrow, #2 Bluehearts...) I have been making the work in nature, at different residencies, and my family cabin, where the birds, ferns and flowers abound.
