Screenprint depicting 14 book spines based on the "Human Behavior" series published by TIME-LIFE BOOKS with gold foil text. The original book spines were scanned, manipulated by the artist removing the text, separated and printed in C/M/Y/K. The text was recreated in a similar font eliminating the original's texture and screenprinted using acrylic adhesive onto which gold hot stamping foil was applied. — Human Behavior, 2015

The artist tossed US currency pennies of random numbers and years creating patterns to be blind embossed into copper foil. A total of 28 compositions were produced. Holes corresponding to the composition were laser-cut into a 20 x 24 x 1/8 inch acrylic sheet and 3 mil copper foil was adhered to the sheet using Drytac Facemount film adhesive. Coins with corresponding dates and orientation were fitted into the sheet and embossed into the foil using an etching press. The coins were removed, the cavities filled with Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty, and the foil was wrapped around the acrylic sheet's edge and secured with Scotch Double Sided Tape. The embossed foil-wrapped acrylic sheet was then adhered to 3/8 inch medium density fiber board using DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. A label bearing the publisher's name, the artist's signature, date and inventory number was then affixed to the back. The artist chose to leave the metal surface unfinished allowing it to age and patina just as the coins they are based on expecting and welcoming the changes. The rate and amount of change will vary depending on their environment. — Pocket Universe (Copper) #23, 2016
