Select Projects 1969 - 1980
1980
Sprayed Cement Doors
Real doors, re-purposed by having been sprayed with cement, paired and reconsidered in a white gallery space.
1979-1980
Corridors
6 pieces, each consisting of a horizontal array of four vertical color photographs of corridors in old, Hollywood apartment buildings - plus 7 individual corridor images.
1978
Door/Window Constructions
Multi-panel b&w photographs of doors and windows, literally cut out of context and presented on the gallery wall as adjacent images. The work explored the issues of inside/outside experience and the nature of the interface -- this time, though, abstracting the dialog into the gallery setting.
1976-1977
Triptychs and Quadrants
Graphic space created from architectural space; re-assembled images from The Hollywood Suites apartments.
1978
Black and white images of storms on the Pacific horizon paired with images of interior walls in The Hollywood Suites.
1976
The Hollywood Suites (bound doors)
Black and white images of interventions in the rooms of The Hollywood Suites.
1976-1977
The Hollywood Suites (interior studies)
Black and white images of windows, mirrors, and doors -- the wall elements in the rooms of The Hollywood Suites.
1974-1975
The Hollywood Suites (nudes)
Black and white images of nudes from photo sessions in The Hollywood Suites.
1972-1973
Stasis
Portfolio of b&w images of blurred reality. This marked my departure from traditional photographic concerns. Monograph published in 1973.
