Photograms contain objects or materials that are placed on light sensitive paper. They are then exposed to reveal the positive of the image as negative. Meaning what was once object is now the white, lightest part of the picture. The materials have been inverted. I combine objects with oils and ointments to create these prints. The light reflected within the liquids produce unexpected illusions and shadows that are in turn mirrored onto the paper.

This sequence incorporated video projected on architecture in ruins. The abstracted animations replicate water wheels and the idea of an assembly line, similar to a forge. Toward the end of the project, light sculptures were included with the projections. All of this work took place in Chester County, PA. A county outside of Philadelphia, PA. The mills mapped the waterways and regions plentiful to the Industrial Revolution.
