I work in clay monoprint, building abstract surfaces from layered porcelain slips, pigment, and hand-pulled transfers. The process is one of both intention and chance: each print is pulled only once, shaped by pressure, erosion, and unpredictability. I’m drawn to atmospheric bands, mineral color, and the quiet structures found in nature’s layers — the way geology records time, weather, and place.

That attention to terrain has deep roots. For much of my career I worked in publishing — as president of The Nation magazine and founder of The Nation Travels, an educational travel program centered on politics, culture, and history. Traveling widely sharpened my eye for landscape as something layered and legible: not just scenery, but accumulated evidence of how places came to be. That way of looking is still at the center of my work.The prints begin in the natural world — strata, erosion, geological memory — but occasionally venture into the built environment, where the same forces of accumulation and time leave their mark. This is an ongoing exploration.
