Illuminating the Negative : First Light : 2000-2004
“The effect is haunting...” Maine Sunday Telegram, July 7, 2002
{ 2005: A portfolio of exhibition prints, was funded in part by a grant from the The Maine Arts Commission. }
Photographs that are both playful and unsettling, illuminating the fragile and fleeting impermanence
of a child’s world. By selectively colorizing parts of an image, the lines between the realms of photography and painting dissolve, so that the resulting image is drawn both by light and by hand. With the glowing negative image as a base, photographs are like light-filled imprints of real (or imagined) memories.
25” x 25” Fujicolor prints • editions of 15
The First Light series is featured in the book Illuminating the Negative : Nine Years of Photographs
