Self-portrait as Crazy Horse | 1993, 8' x 10', cyanotype emulsion on gesso on wall (site specific), exposed from dawn to dusk 10/26/93.
I saw this work at Mass MoCA this year. This is based off of Crazy Horse's fear of the camera, believing that it would somehow capture his soul. Finch stands in front of different areas of the cyanotype emulsion from dusk to dawn, literally capturing his existance.

his projects, returning to the same sites at all hours to look again and
again."
