Occlusions: A series begun in 2012 using #Photoshop anomalies as a painter would ground & glaze ⬇️4alt
The Occlusion series of works by Tom Ogburn are digitally originated in Photoshop by a painter who's created abstract expressionist paintings most of his career. Occlusion, as a word, came into my mind one day due to members in my family who had evolving vision impairments as they aged. While not really the proper term to use for vision blockage such as cataracts or glaucoma, I decided to hijack the term as I kept pulling back from occluded, especially after finding one of the rare uses of occlusion was as the halting of the breath when in the flow of speaking consonants. I remember one of my grandmother's eye doctors using the term occlusion to describe her failing vision. That was also where vision loss became a term that was becoming applicable to my family, for many of the Adams in late life dealt with cataracts, glaucoma & macular degeneration. As I edged into my forties & finally decided to migrate from illustration into fine art full time, these emergences of vision loss affected me all the more, both in terms of those I loved & had known all my life becoming increasingly unable to see well enough to perform many actions that we take for granted when we have good vision. Early on, as my grandmother would try to explain verbally what she was seeing which blocked her vision & how it was changing over time, all the more I began to fear the idea that I too could begin to experience vision loss. To me, for all the years I've relied on excellent vision & color perception. It was one of the worst things I could imagine; even to the point of pulling ahead of Death itself. Nowadays, while it certainly would be a staggering loss, but I have come to love painting with words. Even in total blindness, with the advent of modern digital voice recognition, I can always paint with words. Technology does have a celebrated upside when used for the common good & it also can dispel fear wrought for decades within the mind’s sense of memory & the fears stored within it.

"Willys Fissure at Church Street, 1977," flatbed scan from original film negs of my Father's 1961 Jeep Pickup. Dad's name was Willis 😎

Today's theme is #Blur #BlueSkyArtShow All day Saturday⏳

Black and white scanned negative images, inverted and then overlayed to build a postmodern grunged-up digital collage. You can see the 35mm Kodak film, notches and all, in four different frames I shot back in the summer of 1977. The Jeep is parked in my parent's yard, with the large oak trees and shrubs in the background. It's a tricolor work of black, white and golden bronzes.

"A right and proper Jeroman, in Time." 🌙🦉
In the town of Jerome Arizona, the buildings are stacked atop each other in steep and precarious positions along the side of Mingus Mountain. What could possibly go wrong? I chose a place that was only three stories high, built from a Sears kit home plan, ordered and erected in 1924. I could place a marble on the back side in the living room. Within minutes it would roll up against the kitchen cabinets at the front of the house. 40 feet forward, and angled slightly down. Jerome is a very different place in this world. Built out of time, out of mind. His is a digital composite image, an altered state from the original photograph.The image is of this building, this home, three stories, two households. The look is of an old ambrotype, or tintype, battered and faded. The original photograph, however, was made by me in 2013.

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." ≈ Vincent Van Gogh "Dead wood by infra-red," working title, a test work-up of one of the earliest infra-red images I've ever seen employed by a photographer. Digital composite image Copyright 2023 Tom Ogburn, most likely to be part or an element of the Hybrid works. Many Thanks to the Clemson University Open Parks Network, a true boon to creatives of all makes and models in the here and now, and of all places, including past and present. 1.3 Million. It takes a LOT of prep, care, set-up and patience to shoot just one large forma ultra. Think about that :) The OPN Archival Librarians have been at this task for just over 13 years! That is the number of scans Clemson University digital archivists have created inside the collection they have built in collaboraion with the National Parks Service. Almost all of those (98%) are now in the Public Domain. I used the archival raw scan to create this digital composite build of the remains of an American Chestnut tree photographed in 1951. Yes, 1951. the next comment in this thread will have the original archive scan in it's raw state.
