In my current work I have been creating individual etchings of the plants and animals that live near my home in Northern California. In some ways these etchings reference the natural history prints of artist/biologist cataloguers such as Audubon. Instead of editioning my etchings in a traditional way, I have instead been using the etchings as a base to build new landscapes. Where I have been closely paying attention to the shapes and locality of species in my etchings, I have become much looser in the way I collage and color them. I hand cut each plant out of the paper and then reassemble them on panel to create new worlds.
