is an artist living in Colfax, WA, formerly in Portland, OR and New
York City. He makes unique manuscript books that are lavishly painted
and drawn visual narratives, often including maps, cribriform writing,
odd arcana, and are about such topics as natural sciences, mathematics,
architecture, and sacred geometry. He is influenced by comic books,
Steam Punk design and the study of history, religion, and sociological
and psychological phenomena. The works often include soil, sand,
and other detritus from pertinent sites around the globe, metals,
pigments, textiles, inks, resins, and wax. In addition to these works,
he is a printmaker and develops 21st century bookbinding tools and
equipment such as the Planetary Collage Dreadnaught and Scout sewing
frames. Magnito box building blocks, a nipping press, and a finishing
press are currently in the works. His work is in library special
collections and private collections worldwide. |
