Wallpaper Studies

1974-1977

I have always loved decorative patterns and especially took notice of the walls of paper in many of the older and historic homes that I began photographing in. I spent a few years scouring homes I could find that still had this older style of furnishings complete with aged wallpapers. These were often the sites I would borrow or rent in order to photograph my selected models in some dramatic tableau.

Between 1974 and 1977, I had accumulated a substantial number of new negatives involving the details of the walls themselves. They had become quite precious to me and were ultimately resolved as the folio here presented. Three artist proofs were made and long since retired.
