Photography; Inkjet, 2003
Each image, which is deliberately selected by the photographer, whether it is from an urban scene or a natural terrain, is divided into grids of equal size. The colors rendered in each grid are averaged and reduced into a monochrome. Alleviated of their descriptive role within representational view, the elemental properties of form and color are distilled into a new landscape that can be seen as residing unrevealed in the original photograph. The effect is a liberation of form and color from narrative, without eliminating, in total, its primary relationship to photographic representations of the external world.
These editions are printed with archival pigment inks on a matte Fine Art paper. The ink and paper combination have a display permanence rating of 150+ years.
Print Size: We never change the aspect ratio or crop the original image. Each image is sized to maximally fill the selected dimension. All of our prints have a minimum border of a 1/4 of an inch to allow for framing.
All our editions are supervised by the artist and are accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. Our prints are made with the greatest attention to quality and a concern for permanence. (Learn more about Print Permanence in the FAQ.)
