Artist's
statement
: "As an
artist
,
I
look
for
patterns
in
my
surroundings
, and
I
enjoy
searching
for
ways
to
make
random
patterns
that
aren?t
controlled
by the
artist?s
hand.
One
day
,
while
I
was
looking
out
my
studio
window
,
I
wondered
how to
make
art
from the
essential
,
basic
experience
of
living
in
Oregon.
Then
I
noticed
the
rain.I
set
out
to
capture
the
pattern
of the
rain
as
it
falls
on the
earth
and,
through
many
experiments
,
I
discovered
a
way
to
make
prints
of the
rain.
Each
two-page
spread
is
a
visual
record
of
ten
seconds
of
rain
, at a
specific
time
, on a
specific
day.
This
information
is
recorded
in
each
book.
A
standard
exposure
time
enables
the
reader
to
compare
, at a
glance
, a
light
mist
on
one
page
to a
downpour
on
another
page.
When
turning
the
pages
of the
rain
books
, the
rustling
pages
sound
like
rain.
This
process
translates
the
rain
from
one
form
to
another
, from
wet
to
dry
, from an
ephemeral
event
to an
archival
record.
Each
print
contains
a
record
of the
weather
in an
abstract
pattern"--23
