Visions of Enarc II

I have made these pictures by printing Polachrome 35 mm slides on Polacolor 2 print material. The print (at an early stage in its development) is then transferred to 100% rag paper. I have altered the colors in the pictures to emphasize a particular feeling or desired impact. Each picture becomes unique both due to the unpredictability of the process and my individualized application of color.

The imagery reveals a natural world that I have twisted, thereby producing an alternative world simultaneously surreal, ominous, and romantic. My aim is to transcend mere replication by approaching my subject in a visually and tonally aggressive manner.
