"Taking an advanced photography class a couple of years ago brought me back in touch with the concept of Photograms. I wanted to emulate Man Ray with his Ray-ograms, but had little success. When photographing, I am frequently looking for faces created by naturally occurring phenomena or man made creations that, if seen from a particular perspective, will show a face of some sort or another. Based on this idea, I decided to try creating faces with photograms. This was my first endeavor at a 16 x 20 face utilizing a variety of found objects from the home junk drawers and garage tool chests. Several of these pieces were given to me by the instructor, Rick Papazian, and these items allowed me to go all out in my face designs." - D. Olsen
