Abstract
This written report of creative thesis is an account
of the development of a body of work based on the town of
Penny Hill, North Carolina. This report conveys a poetical
impression of the intimate spaces of the structures at
Penny Hill and focuses on the effects that time and the
aging process has had on the buildings. Excerpts from
Emily Dickinson’s poetry are included as supportive
material. This thesis explores the possibilities of using
traditional collograph techniques with collage for the
purpose of embellishing and enriching the surfaces. it
recounts the problems and questions involved in the working
process as well as their solutions and answers.
