"In 1993, as a young emerging artist, MacDowell gifted me the opportunity to grow my creative voice that was grounded in photography and branched into new media art. Bunkered in the winter-spring season of New Hampshire for eight weeks, I occupied the Putnam studio. There I set up my new Macintosh Quadra 950 computer. In the darkroom I produced a photo series of lines and tangles in nature. In my self-made new media art studio, I developed my interactive new media artwork “Solitaire: dream journal” that included performance art and movement collaboration with Ellen Fisher (93)."
