- Yellow -

This was a series of pictures based on a formula (thus the "academic" quality): each picture was centered on a color, had some kind of personal item in it (clothing or something domestic), and usually something from the darkroom. I used this series to explore crowded, rather baroque compositional schemes and also for the sheer pleasure of working with color and with the familiar objects of my household. Prints were 11" x 14" from 4" x 5" color negatives.
