The structure of my process has its own metaphoric possibilities. The combination of steps varies with each piece (mixing media, cameras and films), but in general begins with my conventional chemical or digital photograph. I then generate a Polacolor print from the digital file, and tear off the pelicule, a positive transparency, which I paint and draw on with oil and ink and then use in place of a negative in a traditional color enlarger. I print on archival chromogenic paper then sometimes transfer the print and/or transparency onto canvas or board or Plexiglas and work further with acrylics and resins. Mine is a willful process-- I can show my hand by drawing, painting, erasing, sanding, tearing, cutting and digitally manipulating. This allows for fictional gain and generational loss, similar to what happens when experience moves from perception to memory. It reflects the psychological process of teasing meaning from mystery. Figures can take on an iconic or archetypical status, their surroundings not a specific place but a kind of atmosphere.
