ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In 1979 when visiting Yucatan I took along some Infrared film and used it while photographing ruins at Tulum and Chichen Itza. This resulted in fairly high contrast and grainy images where vegetation and intense light exposed as white. While printing the images I decided to throw the enlarger slightly out of focus and later I applied a slight amount of handcoloring (prisma pencil) to the image. This piece is from a series of 5 images. Printed on matte RC paper.

Throughout most of my visual arts practice I've been concerned with Image and Text experimentation using photography and digital media and have lectured, exhibited and taught in this realm. Painting has been something I've done in the background for the past 25 years and now I find myself primarily working with this medium. Starting with a blank canvas is startlingly different from my approach to creating image/text narratives. Whatever one does with a photographic image, there is a grounding to it and one can build on this representation. I always had an inkling of the style and content I wanted to produce. It is a different challenge with abstract painting to arrive at something which satisfies my visual goals, personal rules and aesthetics -- as unspoken as they may (initially) be. I find myself working through unfamiliar territory ending up with both successes and failures. My abstractions do tend to touch base with landscape, architecture, still life and the idea of home. ----------------------------------------------------- note: I will also be posting photo-based pieces, (diptychs, sequences with text). These pieces were exhibited mostly in the 1980's though early 2000s and many are within editions owned by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art among other collections.
