« Artists are the people among us who realize creation didn't stop
on the sixth day. » 

Joel-Peter Witkin
While Peter Witkin is known for creating complex scenes for his photographic images, he also uses techniques such as toning or bleaching his prints, scratching his negatives or using other hands-on work as the negatives are developing. His images are often called tableaux due to the way that the subject matter is often mixed with props and scenery specifically constructed to create a portrait of an entire event or thematic, yet dark view, of a world.
 
« My purpose is to acknowledge the wonder of being part of Creation. Though I myself don't create anything, I make from what has been created. »

What is Process Art?

What is Process Art?

It refers to creative sentiment as well as artistic movement where the final product of craft and art is not the artist's principal focus. The term "process" in this art refers to art formation, gathering, the sorting, associating, collating, initiation and patterning of proceedings and happenings. It is concerned with the actual deed and the defining of actions as actual artwork; seeing it as purely human expression. Process art mostly entails inherent motivation, intentionality and rationale. This art is therefore, viewed as a creative process or journey rather than being an end product or a deliverable.
