"Crafted Works" Deconstructed Series

Artist D. Keith Furon's original, deconstructed multi-media photographic art.

Artist D. Keith Furon has evolved photographic art. His unique "Crafted Works" art pieces involve
hand-manipulated photographs transformed into three-dimensional, deconstructed pieces of sculpted art.
Many of the pieces involve other elements, from metal to fabrics to found objects,
turning the original photo into a multimedia result.
These one-of-a-kind artworks are then suspended in shadow box frames.
There will never be another print made from the original image series.
Each piece is unique and there is only one that will ever exist.

D. Keith explained, “For years I wrestled to create a form of original art that would
be created from my photographs. In a form that no other photographer did.
I had traditionally created photographic images,
printed a series of limited-edition prints from the negative, and framed the results.
I loved the photographic process. But I also felt stuck in the realm of multiple prints.
I wanted to create individual creations of art where only one original existed, but that
used the photograph as the primary medium. A truly unique individual piece of art.
Much like a sculpture uses clay, I use my photograph.”

Crafted Works are hand manipulated, often over time, in multiple sessions until the shape,
distressing, texturing, manipulation and integration with other elements bring the print to its final state.
