I See the Moon
2015
The song "I See the Moon" has many variations, but this one credited to Meredith Willson, is what I heard while falling asleep at my grandparent's house on the record player. The moon (or record) shape is surrounded by hundreds of vintage ornaments. Composed tightly, and not in a linear fashion, they conjure the night sky and a dreamscape where moonlit magic is possible.

Burnham Unfolds
2015
Architect and urban designer Daniel Hudson Burnham (1846-1912) directed the construction of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, known as the White City. His 1909 master plan for Chicago focused on the stunning lakefront and put every resident within walking distance of a park. His words, letterpress printed with handset type on an expanding origami form diagrams the print: "Make big plans; aim high in hope & work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence."
3 x 3" square folded print. Letterpress printed with handset type on bright, durable red paper using silver ink and vintage printer's ornaments. The hand-scored and folded print expands to 6 inches square.
