Liminal Pavilions
These images were originally part of my Threshold Spaces series. They were reimagined and re-edited for an exhibition I was invited to participate in with Joyce Hayashi and Deborah Salt on the theme "B&W in Color" - a title we ultimately abandoned. Several of them were made at monumental sites of architecture where I was strictly forbidden to use a tripod. Consequently, I was forced to trespass, as all of these panoramas except one are stitched together from either three or nine exposures. The colored circles are a frame within a frame in dialogue with and indebted to the works of Lazlo Maholy-Nagy, and my teachers John Baldessari and John Divola. The circles are playful zones of focus. This body of work is an anomaly for me insofar as I generally avoid the monumental and focus on picturing unnoticed and anonymous architecture and details of the ordinary sublime.
