FISH SKINS
In early February I began taking a class in
sewing fish skins at the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage. I
sewed a few fish skins together and am excited about experimenting with this
new material. In the meantime I have inherited a huge stash of fish
skins so I'll be able to test this medium thoroughly.

ETUDES
IN SILENCE
I wanted to continue my work with inkjet
prints on transparencies, but also wished to go in a new direction. In
"That Fish Place in Valdez" and "Old Boat," I reduced two of my own
photographs to their most
basic lines. Developing this technique further, I emphasized
the major contours in "Lady Gaga I" and "Lady Gaga II."
