My ‘Keychain Viewers’ began as a 35mm slide show project 

Carousel slide trays of 80 B/W drawings were projected with music on screen in theater presentations. The slide images are abstract drawings . . . reminiscent of opening movie titles of the 1930-1940’s Hollywood cinema. Duplicate slides (approx. 100+) became ‘Keychain Viewers’

The process of slide production entailed the following steps . . .

• Small quick sketched drawings using ‘Pen & Ink’ with graphite stick on paper

• Selected works where then scanned & reduced to BW high contrast prints on photo paper

• These works were photographed with 35mm BW Kodak Kodalith Orthographic film using the copy stand method

• Slide production provided by Doogle Digital

• Each drawing became a separate & individual BW slide

• Each slide is then placed within a plastic viewer

• A beaded pull chain with a signed & dated tag is attached to each piece

Resulting in . . . ‘One Eye Shows’ that are an eye full
