Water.  Pollution.  Mutant Love.
These current, yet unexamined, themes are used to expose

the tangled and intimate relationships between light & dark, presence & absence, love & loss --

and what a modern girl should wear when dating the Creature of the Black Lagoon in the 1920s.

Handmade book, evoking a 1920s scrapbook found in my grandmother's attic:

costume design and construction, Kodak paper photographs, and handwritten text,

assembled as a loose-leaf volume on Arches cold-press paper.
