EX-LIBRIS

EX-LIBRIS was photographed in my New York studio, in a deep solitude intensified by the recent passing of my mother. I used long expired (1940’s) photographic paper in the film holders of my Deardorff 8×10 camera, resulting in highly texturized paper negatives. Conceptually I tried to create books-as-object-d’art, hence I often inserted in between the pages items that I felt replete of mnemonic, personal symbolism. 
This body of work is also a celebration of printed-paper, a marvelous medium that I enjoyed in many forms, throughout my life, which is rapidly disappearing in today’s digital world.
