During the years 1967-1972, I worked on a series of prints built upon information from those geographic areas which have determined the states. I also included the provinces of Canada since I had visited and sketched and photographed in all but one. The name of this group of prints was from the larger project ‘American Album’ and was called Part I – The States and Provinces of North America. I tried to capture some element and/or feeling that was particular to each place.
B.C. – Three Roads has to do with impressions of British Columbia in a general sense, but it has some specific photographic material that was made in that province by myself – namely, photographs of a river and a couple of roads. The photo material was reproduced on a metal photogravure plate which was printed over a collograph. Some screen printing was used to finalize the image.
