Howard Christopherson will discuss his many large scale photographs from the mid 1980s thru Mid 1990s on display in his exhibit: MERGED, Photo Manipulation before Photoshop. Howard’s work at this time merged his abilities with drawing and painting with his photography. Manipulations were made on small 35mm slides using dyes and glues before being printed often as large Cibachrome prints.
