As photographs are perceived to freeze a moment in time, Pennsylvania Man,a multi-version project in collaboration with ceramist Tomás Wolff, intended to directly correlate documentation with imagination. The idea was to both bend the perception of time and matter in the act of ‘discovering’ an entombment of a dreamer with his dream. This act of archaeology of an imagination, was realized by the evidence of artifact. A Herculaneum moment, if you will, revealed by uncovering the dreamer and the dream, intact. From a material perspective the act of light striking and ‘impressing’ its heat upon film seemed to correlate with the act of forming an image with clay fixed through heat. 

Homomutonous mnemonicus, the third and final iteration of Pennsylvania Man was an illumination incorporating installation of artifacts and images that enhanced the imaginary aspects of the original, to realize a dream of entanglement that the found figure was presumed to project into real space from his ‘bed’ before being catalyzed and entombed.displayed in the renowned Philip Johnson designed Dorothy and Dexter Baker Center for the Arts building, Muhlenberg College, Allentown, 1985.
