SELECTED OVERVIEW OF DRAWINGS, PHOTOWORKS AND VIDEO PROJECTS | ||||||||||||||
 |
The photowork on the left (1973) is an early example of my interest in photography as a tool for the exploration of hypothetical and constructed situations. On the right are two works from Trace (2002), a drawing project about memorialization of lives lost in political conflicts. The works are also meditations on randomness and the fragility of life.

The photoworks on the left are from The Shotgun and the I Ching, a series based on digital images of targets that have been shot with various gauge shotguns. Each buckshot hole was filled with a randomly selected color drawn from a palette generated through the use of the I Ching. The works address the chance tragedies of contemporary life.

LARGE FORMAT DIGITAL WORKS The artworks below are based on New York Times news photographs of activities during the early days of the US involvement in Iraq (on this page, the source image is shown directly below each derived work). As indicated by a red box on each source image, a small area was initially captured and subsequently upsampled to about 30 x 40 inches in the derived works. Coloration in the final works is based on a series of self-imposed rules coupled with randomly selected color palettes. The pieces are intended to address the degeneration of "truth" that occurs when images and information are collected and disseminated. The works also address forces that are beyond our direct control but that nevertheless greatly impact our lives. Click any thumbnail to see a larger version. |
