Double Exposed Artists
My idea for this shoot was to put Ed in various parts of one of his paintings. He was very into changing his persona in each place I put him. I told him I was only shooting 2 rolls of film 12 exposures each. On the 24th exposure he said "that's it" I knew it would be!
Ed's graphics, such as the Wedge prints, reveal his interest in the ways in which the process and materials are united to become the image, purely abstract and referring only to itself. In these works, layers of pigment-impregnated paper are superimposed, creating interpenetrating planes of color imbedded in the physical matter. The overlapping facets of color and geometric patterns of the Wedges suggest the designs of Navajo Indians, but the image is removed from that context to stand alone as an independent abstract work of art.
