Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective, an eye unprejudiced
by compositional logic, an eye which does not respond to the name of
everything, but which must know each object encountered in life through an
adventure of perception.”
~ Stan Brakhage

SCRATCH ~ GRAPHS 9
The origin of my Scratch~Graph imagery was born out of sculpting time and space on a series of hand-painted films I made in the early 90s: Sporadic Germination (1994), Germination (1994), Germination The Revolution of Super 8 Universe: A Self-Portrait (1995), The Revolution of Super 8 Universe: A Self-Portrait (1995), The Revolution of Super 8 Universe: A Self-Portraitand Rumba Abstracta (1996-97). Using motion picture stocks, sometimes with Rumba Abstracta (1996-97). Using motion picture stocks, sometimes with Rumba Abstractaphotographed subjects, I used this flat dual transparent surface as my canvas in untraditional ways. Scratching and collaging the emulsion-based celluloid I produced Visual Music animations, building the kinetic image up frame by frame with acrylic paints and an experimental concoction of other liquids to give the work a history, layering it and destroying film strips of various lengths until the composition spoke to me and revealed light, my feelings and what I was thinking. After years of experimentation and thought, I began to work with the same process on photographic negatives, which you’ll see in this catalogue.
In starting to create an abstract picture, I have no compositional goals. My initial drive is chance, which strengthens a random attitude formed by aprocess of constant unpredictable desires in an ocean of emotional urgency and to let the image or patterns come to me. The goal is to create something meaningful in the studio in the hope that it inspires others, and also becomes useful to them, and myself. My work with abstract photography follows in the tradition of avant-garde artists and filmmakers like Maya Deren, Tony Conrad, Stan Brakhage, László Moholy-Nagy, and many others who often time radically contradicted the view of photography as only a product of cameras.
“When there is love, there is always an endless conversation, a consciousness that is ever evolving, and it’s accompanied by a universal growth.”
