Tom Series (photo book)
Print: $25.20Download: $12.50Chambers utilizes the self-portrait to project his lifeexperiences. His portrait remains constant with theexperience [situation] indicated as a change or flux inthe image. The accompanying text details hisexperiences. TOM SERIES is not only an artworkabout Chambers' life ... biography [visual/textual] ...but also a reference tool ... a study of history throughhis existence. The constancy of the same portrait[Chambers' image] indicates a human being'sexistence within a world/an environment that's everinfluencing and changing the psyche. Viewers of thesame generation will probably begin to travel downtheir own personal memory lanes that may or may notcross his own. Viewers of today's young generationwill get a hint of what has come before them andmight be ahead of them in an immediate sense. TOMSERIES becomes a litmus test for this generation.
