In making the work I used photographic images as documentation of my immediate surroundings with Carrie and other individuals. In an attempt to convey a psychological state, I painted over several of the images to convey a sense of loss, distance and substitution.</p><p>As away of describing this particular psychological state I use a series of formal cues. The painted passages are in relationship to how photographic space is read e.g. light coming through a window is often read as the color white. At the same time white paint I use obscures the photograph and resembles the photographic passage to say white paint is light and vise versa.</p><p>This paper examines three topics in the making of a body of work titled <i>The (Re) present Sequence,</i> they are: myself an observer, my painted photographs, and how I made the final product. These three topics allow me to explain the materialization of this body of work. Starting with simple observation and documenting discoveries, the photographs reflect my psychological state. By obscuring the image, I reveal a language to describe specific moments: a personal story of a man and a woman. Using the photographic image allowed me to communicate my world through visual means and suggest narrative.</p> 2000 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1328035069 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1328035069 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
