I have a range of work on display at the venerable One World Cafe in Moscow, Idaho, January through April of 2025.

If you’re interested in purchasing any of the prints that are on display, please contact me by email.

Wakasagi Smelt: Mokuhanga series

Mokuhanga is traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking. I studied these techniques in Kawaguchiko, Japan in 2023. Wakasagi smelt are endemic to the seven lakes near Mount Fuji, which loomed in the near distance beyond my bedroom window.

Arctic Grayling: Mokuhanga Series

Arctic grayling are among the most beautiful of all fish. Dorsal fin like a stained-glass window, inhabiting cold Northern rivers.

This took six blocks to print, and was a tense exercise in ink and block control.

Phoca: Mokuhanga series

This was one of the first prints I created during my residency in Kawaguchiko, Japan. I love harbor seals- the way they shadow your kayak and stare at you with those big, ageless eyes. There’s a reason that the feature in mythology from Scotland to Kamchatka…

Raining Devolution: Edition variance series

‘Raining Devolution’ is a Western relief print on linoleum. The print is a commentary on the way we’re returning petroleum to the oceans (via plastics). Fossil fuels are literally the bones of ancient sea creatures, and there’s a irony in sprinkling the global seas with the bones of tilobites and placoderms.

The different iterations of this print are modified with watercolors and collograph overlay.

Raining Devolution II

Different Creatures- same story. See commentary above.

Kawauso and Tohoku

As human beings, we understand wildife differently depending on our cultural lens. In Japan, otters (kawauso, 川獺) were not historically percieved as cuddly rascals- rather, they were shapeshifter who might seduce you and drown you in the castle moat.

I’m interested in the capacity for our stories about wildife to illustrate our fraught relationship with the biosphere. I can imagine the reaction of a kawaso to the Fukushima disaster.

Hidden Forest of Fire

Phytoplankton are the hidden forest of the oceans. These microscopic oxygen engines may acount for half of our breathable air. Our current habit of lacing the seas with carbon (and lowering the pH) is not compatible with creatures that build their houses out of calcium. 

The pieces on display at the One World are part of a larger exhibition. Individual works are surfaced using raku, cone-six oxidation, and saggar firing.
