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 Unpublished, I created it to work out some ideas and techniques for other projects.

BRYANT PARK SKETCH 1997  is an unrealized analog photo collage from the 90’s Collage era. Typically I am cutting off the sprocket hole edges and taping them to glass to make the final contact print. It is shot with Ilford XP-1 chromogenic B&W film and printed on color c-type paper.

The Guggenhein Sketch Strip here was created at the same time I shot Guggenheim. They are both large scale contact prints, shot on Ilford X-P1, a black and white chromogenic film, and printed on color paper. I had this in mind: orange peel clip art

As well as M.C. Escher’s Rind. Below is a vertical version:
