“Inspired by the strange and accidental colors resulting from my failed attempts of home processing Ektachrome slide film back during the Nixon-Ford administrations, I have imbued my latest Fort Point images with these same unnatural colors. But they take on an environmental implication. Colors can have powerful emotive aesthetic qualities, but often the chemical make-up of paints and inks, that makes them beautiful, can be harmful, toxic, or even carcinogenic.”
