New Contact Grids

“Basin St. Things, Contact Quad #2”

I have begun to create Contact Grids from shots of objects found at the property I purchased in Bristol, Vermont–where generations of accumulation filled the dilapidated house and overgrown yard. I’ve taken 4 rolls of black-and-white film of Basin St. Things thus far. The objects range from plastic toy animals to farm tools. Olive and Marie, the elderly sisters who last lived there, collected garden knick-knacks and religious trinkets. See the November Newsletter to learn more.

Pecha Kucha Night, June 13, 2024

Here is my Pecha Kucha presentation, performed live at Burlington’s FlynnSpace Theater. In my nervousness, I misstated that my father moved to a nursing home in 2001 instead of 2021. It was a powerful experience and I am grateful for the kind support of Chris Dissinger and the PKN staff, as well as the receptive audience.

Jeff and Kris Clarke chose a selection of lith prints from “Of Gavin” and silver gelatin single images from “My Father’s Things.” Visit their wonderful deli and grocery in Stowe, Vt, for delightful food and beverages and to see their expansive collection of original art.

Thank you to Edelweiss Mountain Deli for the commission of 11 framed prints!
