Maize series
Inside a cornfield, the stalk close over your head blocking out everything but a few simple
elements, wind, sky, land, the rattling corn, and one's own mind. This seres of images
describes the complex and beautiful interactions constantly taking place in a humble and
anonymous field.
Each print is made using traditional darkroom techniques and then toned in selenium and
sepia. Since the process is manual, no two prints are exactly the same.
The note cards are printed digitally, each made with individual care by the artist.
