I was fortunate to get to see her lecture about her work at EMU on Tuesday. She makes painstakingly intricate models and photographs them. The finished piece of artwork takes the form of a photograph back-mounted to Plexiglas. She works entirely in film with studio lighting (aka- no digital effects or manipulation). Though I love her work in general, I am particularly drawn to the series The City, Insecta Magnifica, and Some Other Place. There’s also a series of small prints in black and white that she showed us that I especially like, but they’re not on her website. I am posting an image from each of the series I mentioned, in the order that I mentioned them. All images are from her website. Also, I like how much she loves her cats.

I understand what you mean about feeling more comfortable painting or drawing, because I feel more comfortable making sculpture! oh how I love Martin/Munoz's and Thomas Doyle's work. Even though Martin and Munoz work is nothing like anything I would ever make, I still wish I'd made it. your friend Abbigail wrote me earlier today, so we've now met via blogging :) I wish she was in town to come to brunch! your pieces look great!

The painting you did is lovely on that surface. I would love to see the calendar when it is done. And....... ANOTHER Abigail in Ann Arbor Michigan that is in artist? How did I miss that? You have to connect us! Although, so sad I am no longer there. Still I feel a kinship. BTW I love those artists working in miniature. breathtaking. Love the new sculptures….
