Headlites

“Headlites” was a series of found object assemblages inspired by an antique German doll head. Local ceramic artist Lynn Williams cast 25 replicas of the head in porcelain, which I hand-painted and combined with lamp parts and found objects. The sculptures were wired to illuminate and all 24 pieces were exhibited at Rococo Gallery in […]

This Is What Democracy Looks Like

The September 25, 2005 March on Washington protesting the Iraq war was my first photojournalism experience outside of Eureka Springs.
