Warmouth's photography uses a variety of formal tricks to submerge the sense of aesthetic space through a clever juxtaposition of multiple perspectives. Through the use of screens, overlapping slides and filters - while rigorously avoiding electronic manipulation or multiple exposures - Warmouth creates otherworldy images that betray as much a literary inspiration as they do a visual interpretation. Warmouth has crafted a seamless whole from photographic projection, photographic compression, and photographic space. This juxtaposition of elements has created in turn a subdued and dramatic cross-narrative epiphany in shades of blood.
Jeffrey Warmouth's color photographs shift scales and mix worlds.
