cWOW ArtReach Program & Exhibition

When I was 18, Sept 2000 series

Being a mentor in the City Without Walls ArtReach Program allowed me the opportunity to exhibit my photographs with the photographs my student produced in the program. The student wanted to develop work based around the concept of time. As she was creating this work, I began my own personal journey in time and developed images from 35mm negatives that I had taken when I was her age. By rerouting the traditional space that time has created between our 18 year old selves, we will be meeting each other at the same age on the walls at the below exhibition:

A Great Night at Newark Print Club 5/1/13

We had a great night at Newark Print CLub on 5/1/13. I gave a short lecture about the history of cyanotypes, followed by a workshop showing how to make them. Stephen McKenzie had donated a UV Light Box to the Newark Print CLub, and we were all able to experiment in making cyanotypes with the pre-treated paper I had brought. Thanks to Lisa Conrad for hosting the event, and Jackie Cruz for photographing. If you are interested in Newark Print Club, it is located at 585 Broad St. Newark, NJ. Open to the public on Wednesday nights, with a suggested $10 donation for materials. See more pictures from the workshop via facebook.

Newark Printshop 585 Broad Street, Newark, NJ 7pm

We have a homemade exposure unit in the house courtesy of Stephen McKenzie! Our first adventure with this new equipment is an exploration of cyanotypes, a photographic printing process that gives a cyan-blue print, referred to as blueprints. Come out to Print Club next Wednesday and learn all about Cyanotypes with local artist Colleen Gutwein. She will be sharing some of her recent work and then giving a demonstration of the process. Afterwards, there will be prepared paper for participants to explore the process. Please bring transparencies, large photographic negatives, and/or plant material to use as stencils for creating imagery.

Time and Tide in Cambodia

Gutwein Cambodia_-21WEB

Gutwein Cambodia_-36WEB Traveling through Cambodia is surely a road less traveled. I had received a tip back in 2006 to go check out a new home-stay in the jungle of Battambang. WIthin months I was in Cambodia at the home-stay, and finding that there was a lot more about Cambodia than just the fear of undetonated land mines. In the past 7 years I have been working with digital, polaroid, and 35 mm film images from my ongoing documentary about contemporary Cambodia and the rebuilding of every aspect of life after the brutal Khmer Rouge reign. I was fortunate enough to have my second trip back to Cambodia funded by the wonderful visionaries at Alternate Ending Studios.

Currently I am working to obtain funding to spend 6 months traveling and documenting all aspects of daily life across the entire Kingdom of Cambodia. The final images will be printed in a book as a visual map of contemporary Cambodia by region.
