I am documenting the creation of a piece that I am working on for the Process show. I will continue to update as the work continues.

I start with a really rough sketch of what I want to make.

I then make lots of drawings to create images that will tell a story.

Next, I scan in the drawings and print them on strong paper any size that is appropriate for the project.

Then, I cut the images out and make them into little objects or silhouettes to be photographed in a staged setting.

The stage is coming together, it is three feet wide. I am planning on adding some lights.

Here are a few of the animals and domestic objects that I will be using in the series.

I have added some pink and purple lights, and begin taking photos.

One of the final images from this series. I will be showinng this in the Process show.
