This set has been two years in the making. I've developed a process by which I take one photo and make multiple copies. These copies are placed on separate layers. Each layer has its own unique setting of opacity and color attributes. When I'm satisfied with the results all layers are then flattened to create the final image.
The inspiration for the Cloud series came from my childhood. In the summer time, I used to sit on my front lawn in Los Angeles and look up at the cloud formations. This was at a time, before freeways and smog, when there were blue skies and white clouds. The delicate transitions of tones that morphed into various shapes, brought me great joy and tranquilty. As an artist today, I get a chance to recreate that experience and add my own colors to the sky.
