scanography

I capture my images by using an 8 1/2” X 11” scanner from Office Depot.  Even though the actual surface area is small, very large prints can be produced. By placing flowers and small items on the scanner bed I am able to take a photographic image without a camera.  In effect, I am producing a camera-less image.  This method is something I discovered accidentally by allowing myself to be more playful in my process of marking art. 

Scanography is the art-speak term used for this form of making art.

I preview each still life on the scanner, allowing myself to interact with the composition until I am satisfied.  Only then do I hit the scan button. I scan at very high resolutions (1200 to 2400 dpi) so that the image can be enlarged to as much six feet. By enlarging my images, I gain a new level of insight between nature's gifts often unobserved in the smaller context.
