1993 installation at the Painted Bride Art Center, Philadelphia, with pinhole camera, silver gelatin pinhole contact prints up to 120 inches square, medium format silver prints, audio interview, found and researched historical documentation What helps Dodge helps YOU is a project that focuses on a closed and abandoned steel casting factory in Philadelphia, and the surrounding grounds which came to be used as an illegal dump-site. My project was conceived around a simple yet powerful idea; use the raw materials from the wasted building and the refuse heaped around it to build a giant rolling pinhole camera to make large scale photographs that document the site. This project was funded by a 1991 New Forms Grant, Northeast Region, a Kodak Professional Imaging Materials Grant, and the generosity of Mid-City Camera, Berry and Homer Photo Lab and Ida Wiener Moss. click thumb nails to see larger image --back to home page----to photo index--
