My new "Positive/Negative Multiples" series are Fine Art Archival Pigment Photographs reimagined from my original cyanotype on fabric photographs of beachcombing treasures from Cape Cod and objects from my toy collections and other collected curiosities.

The images are digitally repeated, mirrored and inverted in a grid/checkerboard format, similar to vintage letterpress type trays that are now used for displaying objects. They harken back to cabinets of curiosities from the 16th century, and alternating negative images look like x-rays, taking on a haunting quality and suggest a mysterious past.
