Rebalanced, Fused (2026, Looking Deeper: Emerging Concepts)

Description: Photo print image transfers to individual boards mounted on backing board.

Details:

Pinhole photograph, 120 film. laser image transfer via acrylic gel medium on gesso panel, mounted on hardboard. Eight 5x7 inch panels, 4x2 grid. Artwork 18x24 inches. Framed without glass.

The work borrows a structure from Andy Warhol's Sunset series, a mass-produced edition of sunset prints issued in varied color schemes. The sunsets here are constructed: light reflected off a circular object, its color set by gels placed in front of a flash.

The eight images were made with a homemade pinhole camera. The colors were then pulled onto the panels by hand, using acrylic gel medium. The transfer is not perfect by nature, and what it alters stays in the object.

This piece studies how that light behaves, and what happens to it on the way to the panels.
