My direct relationship with the land is celebrated in my book art. I perform my own personal rituals in my forest habitat in Colorado. The Winter Pressing series involves placing paper in various forms on the earth to be buried under winter snow and then harvested the following spring. Books wrapped in wire were laid in wooded spaces and were harvested after a year's passing, showing the history of the past year.
