"In the darkroom I paint with light. There is no camera; rarely are there negatives. Over the past seven years I have been making images on the threshold between photography and painting. Many viewers question whether the finished work may even be called photographic. Originally, the plan for this body of work was to explore light defined by line, space, form, and color; but recently the project has evolved beyond that. Surprisingly, the images have taken on emotional characteristics that seem difficult for many viewers to articulate. People tend to be drawn to the images, but they are not sure why. Therefore, as I continue to explore new technical possibilities I am now consciously directing the emotional impact of the color in my work. The work begins as a 3"x 3" unique chromogenic photographic print produced in the darkroom. They can be made only once, and are the originals for larger prints (c-prints) made by doing high resolution scans, which are eventually printed at 12" x 12" and 30" x 30".
