Planet 04,7/21
Unframed Digital Cibachrome Print, 14" X 11"
Limited Edition of 21 + 2A, 2010
$500
On December 1st 2010 I released Planet 04, the
first 14" X 11" limited edition cibachrome print ever released
from my Planet series.
ABOUT THE IMAGE
Planet 04 is the second planet being released as a llimtied edtion cibachrome
print. Along with the ful-size 50" X 40" edition available through
RARE Gallery, I have produced a special limited edition of 21, 14" X 11",
unframed, cibachrome prints, that I am offering privately to my collectors.
I construct imagined worlds using Photoshop, exploring the practice of contemporary
landscape today. The cibachrome print has an archival lifetime of 300 years.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The computer and Photoshop are my sole mediums to create images that are the
basis for three ongoing series of works -- Planets, Islands, and Still Lifes.
Employing techniques that resemble collage and painting by "borrowing" pixels
of color from images found on the Internet using search engines, I entirely
absent my use of the camera from the artistic process. My photographs honor
Nature while celebrating Technology, an important concern for me in an age
when humans are struggling to find a balance with the planet that sustains
them. Through my art, I have found a way to showcase Nature's all-encompassing
beauty while at the same time expressing my genuine concern for its preservation
and safety.
