A full room installation of thirty-five brain scans depicting different layers of my brain that are made into (4" x 4") light boxes.
Each piece of film has words etched into it - thoughts taken from personal journals of the time. Each light box, with exposed
individual electric cords, sits on custom gurneys made narrow and tall. The four walls of the room are draped with a
continuous sage colored hospital curtain. The brain scans were taken in early December 1998. The Ragdale Series,
are forty collage works on paper. The body of work was completed in June of 2009 while attending a three week residency
at the Ragdale Foundation, an artist community located in Lake Forest, Illinois.

* documentation is forthcoming This archive is a creative history spanning two decades.
The documentation is comprised of many technological
formats ranging from slides, 4x5s, photographs, and
straddles the introduction of digital formatting of the time.
The goal was to preserve images, whether high or low resolution.
