Mixed media and materials, edition of 20, 3 AP, published by Three Star Books, Paris, France, 2016. Ten individual folios containing ten unique UV prints on 3mm plexi-glass, housed in a clothbound box. * 11” x 11”x 2”. Signed and numbered. Font: Garamond This project was created as a way to imagine images as material objects and subjects, that are both flat and three dimensional, and serve as an archival memory of their past.
On the cover of each folder is a blue document that contains text that is taken from the catalog, including the object’s lot number, object and subject description, provenance, estimated vaule (in its currency system), date and location of sale, and the sales code name.
On the surface of the slides are UV printed images of objects found in luxury jewelry and antique auction catalogs. They are digital reproductions of photographic reproductions, originaly sourced from the catlog. In other words, they are laser-prints of four-color CMYK process prints.
Each slide sits atop a monochrome block of color that becomes the background of the object in the foreground/on the slide. This is intended to invite and encourage play with the work’s tacticle and optical qualities. The slide can be picked up, maniplulated and moved around

Negotiations Negotiations is a reimagined facsimile of an antiquarian auction catalog. All of its “Lot” photos were manigified to reveals the iamges halftone patterns –abstractions made from a representations. The idea was to invite the reader to speculate on questions of value, and meditate on the off-set printing technologies that make up pictures. Cover: Paperback, color, glossy finish. Binding: glue bound. Interior: black and white. 250 numbered copies. Published by Onestar books, Paris, France, 2011. 9” x 5.5”, 150 pages. Font: Hoefler Text.
The book is broken up into three parts 1) a section of images and catalog descriptions 2) a glossary of terms and essay to better understand the terms in the feild of antiques and the arts and crafts movement, 3) and an image atlas that connects each halftone-pattern to their original photograph. Brand and logo was changed to the name “Christines”, with reimagined insigina using an graphic image of the head of medusa. The name “Chritines” is derived from the Stephen King novel of the same name.
