Welcome to the new web site. I moved to a new system that allows me to update galleries and submit blog entries without the assistance of my trusty, but now fully employed, web guy. I hope that this makes my blog a more dynamic experience for both myself and for people interested in my work.

The Explorers is a solo exhibition with Von Lintel Gallery in Los Angeles in which I explore techniques I've developed over the last 15 years: scratching drawings into the photographic surface, painting on top of the photograph, creating shadow play with scratches in the glazing and folding the image to make a more dynamic viewing experience.
