Artist Statement:
Statement
Brian personally prints each
photograph using traditional
black and white silver based
processing on fiber paper,
toning the prints in a
selenium toning solution.
Additional processing steps in
the darkroom contribute to
archival permanence. Some of
his photos include
handcoloring selected areas of
the photograph which adds
greater visual depth and
interest to the image.
Current works focus on
historic subject matter found
in the primitive and remote
areas of Utah, and modern day
“roadside attractions”.
Travels into remote areas of
the desert Southwest have
yielded images of ancient
America. Traveling the
backroads he has found a
wealth of subject matter left
over from the time before
there was the national
interstate highway program of
the '60’s. These images,
combined with hand coloring,
have provided a direction in
his work reminiscent of
picture postcards of the
'50’s.
