Project Update: Motions 10
The Motions 10 Kickstarter fundraiser is now underway!
The fundraiser will end March 31st and it's an all or nothing effort - If the funds are not raised by the end of the month, the project is a no-go.
What will Motions 10 be?
I have aspirations to create a graciously-sized coffee table book (11"x14") this year showcasing Motions images from the past decade. But, I need some help. In order to afford printing a minimum of 50 of these beauties, I need to raise at least $5,500.
The fundraiser will end March 31st. It's an all or nothing effort - If the funds are not raised by the end of the month, the project is a no-go.
As a thank you, I'm offering a number of pledge packages with reward items ranging from greeting card sets all the way up to larger limited edition aluminum fine art prints! A number of the pledge packages also include a signed and numbered Motions 10 book once it's printed.
Self publishing isn’t cheap (especially when quality is important) and I’m not wealthy. That’s where crowdfunding comes in.
Project goal amounts | The main project goal amount is set at $5,500 however, there are also two more goal levels. If funding reaches at least the 2nd goal level, the project will yield more quantities of books printed along with additional features that would be added (such as fold out pages).
-
Minimum project goal of $5,500 | This will be enough to have 50 books printed plus cover other costs associated with estimated pledge reward items, shipping and fundraising fees.
-
2nd tier goal of $11,000 | If the campaign reaches this amount, I will be able to have 150 books printed and will likely add at least one foldout page.
-
3rd tier goal of $18,000 | If the campaign reaches this amount, I will be able to have 300 books printed and will likely add two or three foldout pages.
Final retail price for the book will likely be over $100. By supporting this project with a pledge of at least $90, not only will you be receiving a book at a discounted price but will also receive a personally signed and numbered edition. I will be numbering them in order of pledges, so if a book is in your sights, make your pledge soon!

Project Announcement: Motions 10
Ten years and thousands of images later, the Motions collection is still the strong-hold of my work. I’ve thought about a coffee table book for a number of years and feel the time is right to pursue the vision that I've been mulling over in my mind.
After much thought and research I have decided to self publish the book, which can be costly. That's where crowdfunding coming to play. I will be launching a fundraising campaign through Kickstarter starting March 1st and hope you will consider contributing to the fundraising efforts. In return, I'll be offering a number of rewards including the book itself along with greeting cards and prints ranging from smaller open edition pigment prints up to larger limited edition aluminum prints. If you are unfamiliar with Kickstater, or how crowdfunding in general works, check out the site here - there are some really neat projects happening all over the world using the platform.
The final hardcover book will be a gracious 11” high by 14” wide and will be around 130 pages (depending on final funding amount raised). Pages will be printed on high quality paper that has been sourced from environmentally responsible American paper mills.
I'm really excited about this project and will be sharing more information as March approaches, so please check back often and watch for announcements via Facebook and Instagram!

Mystery Print Gallery in Pinedale is hosting a special invitational exhibit to include work from 18 artists who primarily produce contemporary work and most of whom em reside in Wyoming. The invite was to produce work with the theme, animal shelter, asking them to explore the concept of how animals protect themselves. Delsa choice to work with some of her recent images of aspen leaves to create a double sided installation, one that requires viewers to interact with the piece in order to see the component of shelter. Titled, Path to Pupation, the work shows an intricate trail created by an aspen leaf miner as it makes its way to location on the leaf that would act as a shelter site for transformation to its next phase of life.
