SECRET SEEDS 1985
SECRET SEEDS 1985

SECRET SEEDS  1985  is a tryptich sketch photo collage created from photographs of a cover of a National Geographic from 1983.  It is an image of a Wodaabe man of the south Sahara, photographed by Carol Beckwith in 1983. Each section is a separate exposure on color negative film, printed on color C type paper, and mounted onto black museum board. The motion is created with manual camera movements. Unpublished, I created it to work out some ideas and techniques for other projects.
