Let’s Play • Monoprint • There are embedded solar plate etchings of me and my sister as children, chine-colléd to surface along with toys cut out of paper napkins. I inked up string and used in the monoprint. This is very playful and was fun to do.

Childhood Memories • Solar plate etchings on the backs of puzzle pieces from the dollar store. • It is not archival and I would never sell such pieces, but this was done for myself at the end of the semester when I was out of paper and money and it gave me permission to experiment. It could be replicated by cutting out mat board in the shapes of puzzle pieces and printing which would be archival. I was working with aspects of memory that are fuzzy, disjointed, and sometimes clear and it works as a metaphor for piecing together memory.
Fuzzy Memories 1 • Monoprint • Solar plate image chine-colléd to mat board and punched-out handmade papers. I love using the negative of punched out pieces in my work. They act like little windows and add a layered look. I used stamps in this piece also. The background in a monotype done with inked up fancy fringed yarns.
