MacArthur Mayhem - Limited Edition of 6 Photograph

My studio is in West Oakland, a neighborhood that is transitioning from industrial manufacturing to live-work spaces. I am looking at human spaces in transition. Due to gentrification and redevelopment, many buildings awaiting a makeover are covered in graffiti and multiple layers of paint, becoming like ” found paintings”. These layered wonders suit the process I work with, and also serve as records of these neighborhood changes. I print the photographic image on clear film instead of paper, adding paint, collage or pastel behind the transparent film image. This enhances the dimensionality already inherent in the transparent positive film. This double layer is scanned and printed up to 60 inches on watercolor or photo luster paper.
