For starters, I scanned in a triptych and diptych that I printed among others a few months ago. I was inspired to create an image out of multiple photos after seeing work from Justin Kirchoff (He tought me at MECA) and David Hilliard. Making these images with film was meticulous and sometimes backbreaking. I didn’t know what I was going to get, thus most of the images were not aesthetically pleasing. However, the two above I do enjoy. I feel they are progress to perhaps a larger body of work in the future. I see some in color as well…! Making these photos appeal to me because I’m doing more than just camera work. Color is controlled like paint on a canvas. It’s collage. I’m sculpting. It’s a little bit of everything, which is a mirror of me as the artist…
