Solitude of Selfie

Purchase Workbook Solitude of Selfie 2024

Purchase Workbook Solitude of Selfie 2021

[2018-Present] Solitude of Selfie is a body of drawings that celebrates the 100th year anniversary of the 19th amendment 2020. Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s handwriting is digitized and cyanotyped (blueprinted) into the background of compositions about Stanton’s address Solitude of Self arguing for suffrage. History is illuminated and reworked into contemporary compositions. A workshop component of the project asks participants to take a “tour” around Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s 19th century feminist address Solitude of Self. They are asked to read, write, count and draw their way around the address. Artwork for this project integrates primary documents for the Woman’s Bible project in 1898.

West Texas Native Plants

Welcome to West Texas Native Plants! This portfolio consists of cyanotype artworks that celebrate the Llano Estacado’s semi-arid landscape. Native prairie grasses and playa wetland plants are placed on light sensitive paper or painted wood and exposed to sunlight. This magical process reveals a photogram print. Plant shapes intersect with strategic brushing and dripping application of the cyanotype solution to indicate the constant movement of weather. Indigo blue and sky blue are base layers. To achieve earth tone, cyanotypes are submerged in a bath of hot tea.

Solar Powered Paper Dolls

[2012-2017] Solar Powered Paper Dolls is a body of artwork about Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s address Solitude of Self. It is part paper doll, part history lesson and part geography lesson. I have digitized archives of feminist handwriting and paper doll graphics from American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, MA, Library of Congress, Washington D.C. and Women’s Rights National Historical Park, Seneca Falls and turned them into transparencies that are used to blueprint the archives into painted surfaces, paper and fabric.
