Murals - 1991,1993 The first mural was the one of multiple images of me jumping, which was made on the xerox machine (at Magnum Photos, where I was working) by enlarging and reducing an actual photo, and collaging the xeroxes. The second one was made from a negative of me and a positive of flames, dropped into slide projectors and printed on mural paper (the final image is about 6 by 8 feet). The reason I look like a monster is because I had put glow paint on my face and upper body,then charged myself up under the lights and shut the lights off—so I am the light source and the eyes and mouth are black where there was no paint. To make the exploding man image, I shot a negative of a piece of graffiti, and many slides of flames, dropped them all into slide projectors and printed a collage image onto mural paper—the image is about 8 by 15 feet—		Hands - 1997 This series is really alchemical—I have no idea why this works ! I took very old photo paper and poured developer over it in a tray in the dark, then poured the developer off, and stood the tray in a corner in the darkroom while I did other work. I would do this a few times over several hours, then at some point I would place my hand on the paper, and either the heat or the hand oils would activate the developer and leave a hand print. I think they look like aural photography, or like the hands that American Indians left on walls in the desert. All images are on 11 x 14 inch silver gelatin paper.
	Botanicals - 1999 In a way, this is the materials I had collected for the watches being walked into the darkroom—I am placing small objects that pass light up on the negative plane of the enlarger and also contacting them actual size on the easel plane. The result is a multi-layered rayogram / collage printed onto film, and shown as light boxes in a dark room. I wanted it to look like you were looking into a microscope at a tiny world. All prints are on 20 x 24 inch sheet film.		Circles - 1996 These are done by swirling the thongs in the developer over a piece of photo paper that has been exposed to light (but no negative). I think they look like charcoal drawings—like planets or meiosis-mitosis, or in a line they remind me of bubbles, rising and falling. All prints are on 16 x 20 inch silver gelatin paper.
