repainted photographs
In 1998, Baldwin discovered an interesting hobby making digital modifications to his landscape photographs, using Photoshop, Corel Designer and others.
He was struck by the formal possibilities of hard-edge flat color areas in a composition, and the technique informed him of the mind’s capacity to sense 3D relationships and imply details where none existed, leading to a minimalist form of landscape re-rendering he calls Repainted Photographs.
