About

As a photographer, I squeeze the three dimensional world into the two dimensional and present that world within the confines of a rectangular frame. Feeling constrained by these parameters, I wanted to add dimensionality, tactility and texture into my work and reimagine how an image could exist inside a three dimensional form.

For many years I have gathered acorn tops throughout New England and around my home in Southern Vermont. As I contemplated their shape, variety and their singular function: to hold and protect a growing acorn seed within, I began to wonder - could this be the form, the space into which a two dimensional image could exist, and be presented? 

I began to repurpose the acorn tops by using them as frames for my images and then adapted them into earrings, bracelets and other wearable and decorative objects. Using the acorns in this way brought the dimensionality to my work that I sought and reimagined both how images can be exhibited in a form and how a form can function in unimagined ways.
