Transmorgraph, archival print
2020
The transmorgraph Recurrence 02-02-2020 was produced for Australian Tim White’s 2020 Surrealist Almanac. After a difficult 2019 that had many lows including the pandemic, racial strife and climate change, the almanac was to be a future calendar with the theme of ‘what should be’. The date, Janice’s birthday, represents the metaphysics of inner harmony and universal life.
Six photographs were digitally cut, blended, warped, and painted including an early car lamp, a fossil, sunlight on sand, hand-painted shadows, and a sky.
