Usually I work in my own studio, setting up arrangements of images and objects culled from my "museum of memory"– my personal collection of oddments, books, and artifacts. Using only natural light, my exposures often take several hours. I then contact print my images using 19th century techniques (or modern versions of antique processes) requiring ultra-violet light. Sometimes I collage my pinhole images onto antique book boards, incorporating fragments of text and time-stained papers, thus creating a "photo object." These collaged artifacts allude to the passage of time and to collective and personal memory.
