These digital pictures are just one branch of “Six Million” an in-progress work with a centerpiece consisting of the black ink impressions of my right forefinger, each memorializing one Jewish Holocaust victim. Every week I photograph my working finger. I then cut out a small area and use image-editing software to fuse a multitude of these cropped versions onto each other. The more times I perform this procedure, the farther removed from the straightforward portrait these works become. In addition, I complement that work period’s fingerprints with a prose poem and video showcasing both the poem and digital compositions.
