In the spring of 2002, I started photographing in extreme
close-up and making combinations which for me represent the "point of
transformation" between human and animal. At the same time I started
using a color plotter at Jesup, as means of possible output for my students'
digital combinations. This led to my printing these close-up combinations
three by
six feet and larger. The resulting image, for me was very seductive. I continue
to print these large images on all sorts of different media
including but not limited to: a few different types of canvas, silk and backlit
transparency film.
