Premonitions (1985)
Loma Prieta (1989)
DESCRIPTION (continued):
Premonitions shows me on Easter morning in 1985, head thrown back in delight, standing in front of our kitchen window. Loma Prieta shows this same vantage point, this time documenting destruction caused by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The accordion-like distortion of the images was achieved by moving the photos as I scanned them, simulating the movement of tectonic plates.
