These works on paper pay homage to the 1970’s, an era when National Geographic, with its iconic yellow border, was a portal to distant cultures. Before pixels replaced film, the monthly print magazine was the gold standard for photography, and inspired many young artists (myself included) to pick up a camera for the first time. The technical skill, persistence, and fortitude required to produce a single Kodachrome slide worthy of the magazine was legendary, and far beyond the digital fast food standards of today.
These one-of-a-kind monoprints mourn both the loss of film and its more disciplined analog form of image making. They also celebrate and modernize these archetypal images of culture and humanity.
