PHOTO CANVASES
and
THE ALFRED SERIES
Combining images from the Stud Dust series and my photo archive, the PHOTO CANVASES employ map-like grids of B&W enlargements pasted to canvas with gesso. Painted with oils and enamels, the constructions incoporate ink drawings and collage in places, along with either hand-drawn or digitally-rendered text .
Also here is the ALFRED SERIES, 14"x11" B&W enlargements layering art-historical references in oil paint over images from the Studio Men series. This series was done while a visiting artist at Alfred University, Alfred, New York, in fall 2001.
