Description Solarization experiment, 1972 for my color major.This is VPL long-exposure, thick-base, Kodak Vericolor II, C-41 process. I have notes somewhere, but the process was based on the solarization technique in one of the Time-Life photo books. During the first stage of development (1/3 or 2/3 through, I can't recall exactly), the film was taken out of the bath and flashed from about 3 feet with a battery operated device having 5 filtered flashlight bulbs. Each test film was exposed to one color, then development completed. We had a nitrogen-burst color line at school at that time. I made 16x20 prints back then, but the color correction was problematic. The scanned versions here are purer in color than I could ever get with color prints.
Jeffrey C Marienthal, Bonfield Member Since February 2014 Artist Statement My works are a conversation that I have with myself about time, and across time.
I combine architectural interior and figurative photography with digital illustration to create surreal representations of my perceptions, based on dreams and unusual experiences. Computer manipulation of digital photography permits me to show experiences that cannot be photographed.
My work draws upon the vast visual lexicon of my early notes, sketches, and photographs. Early images are combined with new elements photographed from my environment, or studio set-ups posed to complete my vision.
