The other day, I posted some images of archival pigment prints that I created for Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT) and printed here in Rhode Island at iolabs. I very much enjoyed this break from glass to work in another medium, although the technique for creating these prints is actually quite similar to one I often use to develop painted glass works.

It’s during these grayest of January days that I often daydream about visiting the tulip fields of North Holland.
