Orb: Five Flashes, Yellow, Fuzed (2026)

Description: Pinhole photography image transfer to board mounted on backing board.

Details:

Pinhole photograph, 120 film. Laser print image transfer via acrylic gel medium on gesso panel. Artwork 5x7 inches. Unframed.

This is a constructed sunset: light reflected off a circular object, its color set by a gel placed in front of a flash, exposed five times on one frame. The image was made with a homemade pinhole camera. The colors were then pulled onto the panel by hand, using acrylic gel medium. The transfer is not perfect by nature, and what it alters stays in the object. It shares its subject with Paradigms, Aqueous, which takes its structure from Warhol.

This piece studies what the transfer does, held alone without the comparison a grid invites.
