My first year in the MFA photo program at Mass Art resulted in three silver gelatin prints shown above. Althought many more photo projects where worked on during this first year, these three are the only ones worth showing. Non of the projects, including these three were ever completed. No digital techniques were used in the process of creating these images. Most of the materials used in the process of making each of these images are listed below.

untitled 1, 2004
 + materials used: tape, plexiglass and paint on paper.

untitled 2, 2004
 + materials used: marshmallows, wax, tape, plexiglass and paint on paper.

untitled 3, 2004
 + materials used: chalk, tape and wax on found Polaroid.

My final year at Mass Art ended with a series of drawings form my thesis show. Click here to view the thesis show.

While writing this post I came across the web site for Paul Lowry who was my professor from undergrand that introduced me to this process of working.
