UNTITLED SKETCH, GREENPORT 1986

UNTITLED SKETCH, GREENPORT 1986 is an analog photo collage shot on color negative film. Composed of nine separate 35MM exposures, the strips of film are straight out of the camera, trimmed and taped onto a glass negative carrier, and enlarged onto color chromogenic paper. Exposed with an Olympus OM-1, which I had specially modified to eliminate the spacing in between frames. Photographed with long exposures using a flash, to create a frozen/motion painterly effect.

THE UNIVERSE 2018
THE UNIVERSE 2018

THE UNIVERSE 2018 is a digital photo collage of everything that can be seen in the universe, along with everything that cannot be seen, including all that stuff in those parallel universes of the multiverse suggested by string theory. It’s all here, reduced to four single pixels, which I have enlarged here to make them easier to see.
