FIELD OFFICE is an ongoing project where I visit sites of glacial significance in the Great Lakes region to observe, engage, and interpret the landscape. The office is currently focused on Kelleys Island.

I produce a postcard for FIELD OFFICE that becomes my timecard for clocking in and out while also logging the details of my activities each time I visit the island. These cards are mailed from Kelleys Island in duplicate to the archive for my project which is housed at the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art, and to my studio on the mainland for my record. I’ve also begun to send these postcards to project sponsors. The collection of hand-written postcards is a kind of artist book that commemorates my practice, dispatched in installments, telling the story as it is unfolding.
