My latest work is
a series of collages called Time Travel
Photos. All photography could be
thought of as temporal art as each photo captures a distinct moment in
time. But in this new series, a set of my
photos are cut, sliced and reconfigured to show both a present and a past. Each work contains an image of an urban space
in San Francisco with images of the natural past emerging through. Instead of using historic photos, I have interwoven
photos of the present-day San Francisco with photos of unspoiled places in the Bay
Area. I choose nature locations that are
close approximations to how San Francisco would have looked before the arrival
of Europeans.
While I
appreciate before-and-after juxtapositions with historic and present-day
photos, this series is something entirely different. A finished Time Travel Photo is really one
image of a single place. Each collage
shows a place where time loosens allowing echoes of past realities to easily
emerge through into our present.
The work will be
presented in a new show at San Francisco’s Glama-Rama Salon and Gallery. The show runs from October 11 to November 27,
2016. The opening reception is on the
evening of Saturday, October 15 at 7:30 pm.
