PDX Magazine: Review of MIXED MEDIA work by Kenneth E. Walker, Based on a phone interview in 2006.
Upcoming Art Shows> by Aaron Miles & Marie Oliver
Kenneth Walker
Talisman Gallery
Thru March 26
Kenneth Walker’s visual journeys may prove disturbing to old school photo purists. The traditional stance is that the strength of an image and composition should be captured entirely by the camera. Walker, on the other hand, ardently strives to see just how much destruction the photographic process can hold up to. “It’s anti-photography,” he says of his mixed media work. Walker tests the limits of the physical media with chemicals that destroy 90% of the paper, then rebuilds the image with other media, food color, pencils and/or a photographic oil. Walker says his photography, akin to Impressionism, eliminates detail to capture the mood, feeling and spirit of the scene and image, rather than to muddy it with minutia. “The idea is to make (the) print (a) metaphor for the effects of nature and time on the human body and life in general,” he explains. Catch the prints before they’re gone for good. - MO
