​In June of 2016, I saw a boat loaded with shipping containers and had a vision to acquire one to use with old school photography in mind.

I bought a 45' shipping container from a dock in New Jersey and transformed it into a darkroom for a process called monotype printing.  A mono print is essentially a method of producing a traditional printed image that becomes an original due to the inclusion of collage, mixed media, drawing, painting and hand applied color work.  Specifically, monotype printing allows considerable freedom in the approach to imagery. The process is very versatile, you can work negatively or positively, use water based or oil based inks, incorporate all manner of other materials or not- the scope to make it your own is fast.  My love of working with mixed media sits well within the practice, as does my organic and uncontrived approach to creating these images, which powered the confident spontaneity that monotype printing requires.​
