My Father's Farm

My Father's Farm

“My Father’s Farm” is named for the real thing, where we used siphon hoses for irrigation. Those bright, early mornings were only a farm boy’s memory of 1960. When I made this print in 1972, it was now in very different world to which I had come to live. The image was composed from a video photograph made in the first video art experiments, using 16 mm film of a sunrise over the Cascades and a drawing by the same title.
