Painting with the Camera -

Since 1970 Patrick Walsh has approached his work as a painter might, and paint with the camera itself. The camera is the paintbrush and the photographs are the brushstrokes of his Photomosaics:  large-scale ruminations on people, places and things that he filters through the camera lens, then pieces together.  The end results -- flattened out images that show us what we only perceive in our peripheral vision -- are rendered much deeper and broader than the sum of their original parts.

Once the film is shot, Walsh shapes the experience with the photographs. “I’m creating a composition with multiple photographs and yet within those photographs there will be a beautiful one all by itself. I’ll put it into the mix. The overall impression is what matters to me,” says Walsh. “I want you to step into that picture, it’s like a window. I want you to feel you’re there.”
