It takes a leap of faith to go from a large scale images envisioned jn my mind to physical objects of archival pigment prints placed within the gallery space. Seeing them born out of a dark room litho developer on a thin 4x5 long forgotten ortho Kodak film, transferred into a digital realm of contemporary post production, layered with deep blacks on heavy weight Hahnemuhle paper, and, finally, claim existence on their own terms in the public space of a gallery.

It's a quiet moment when the installation is completed and before the crowd pours in.... For now they are alone for the night in their innocence before facing the hail of judgment.
