Exhibition Specifications:
The "Tears of Stone" exhibition is a conceptual installation
that allows viewers to participate in the process of remembrance.
A strip of molding which runs continuously around the gallery walls
is affixed below the photographs. Hundreds of photographs of written
observations from World War I cemetery visitors' books are made available
on pedestals placed throughout the gallery.
Viewers are asked to write down their thoughts or observations on
the reverse side of these pictures and to place them at any location
along the molding. Regardless of which side is facing out, writing
is visible and the exhibition itself takes on the character of a memorial.
Specifications of Photographs:
A pinhole panoramic camera and a more modern swing-lens panoramic
camera were used for this project. Both cameras utilize medium format
film.
The negatives were then drum-scanned, retouched in Photoshop, and
output onto watercolor paper on inkjet printers. The scanning and
large prints were done at Cone
Editions Press in East Topsham, Vermont, while I printed the smaller
versions in my studio. The largest prints are the first of their size
and type to be shown in a public exhibition.
