BED PICTURES 1995-1999

Bed Pictures involves an in-depth exploration of a single subject, which is a king-sized pine bed with white sheets. The majority of the images are abstracted forms created from the sheets on the bed, and almost all of these are nonreferential for the viewer as to their position in the frame or their relative size to the objects. The images reveal a carefully observed subject, attention to the detailed nuances of the bed and the sheets, and, in some cases, are subtely political. The centrality of the bed in everyday life is undeniable; my work tends to objectify the subject and concentrate on the unexpected beauty of this commonplace item. There are currently 50 images in this series, all of which are printed as silver gelatin prints measuring 15 by 15 inches on 16 by 20 paper, and the series is still ongoing. Bed Pictures were shot between 1995 and 2003; those images dating from 1995-1999 were printed on Kodak Ektalure paper (now defunct) and the later works are on warm-tone Luminos paper.

NOT ALL IMAGES ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AS A GELATIN SILVER PRINT (DIGITAL PRINTS ARE AVAILABLE).
