Inversion #2i / #2ii: This pair of works share the same photographic excerpt, a view of Granite Dells and Watson Lake in Prescott, Arizona. For Inversion 2ii, Michael Cherney “inverted” the hue by flipping the photograph's colors to their spectrum opposites. The true reds and greens of nature seen in Inversion 2i become otherworldly tints of blue and purple in Inversion 2ii. Before creating these pieces, Arnold Chang experimented with a similar blue and purple color palette in his solo works. These experiments inspired Cherney to adjust the hue of his photographs, and he was delighted to discover Chang’s color palette naturally appearing at the opposite end of the spectrum. Although the photos depict the same scene in opposite colors, Chang reacted to the inverted color schemes by imagining two separate, though related, compositions.
