Printed materials, collage, and color photography. Published in an edition of 10, with all issues unique in their specific content. "Photographing Buildings" takes off from "Process", with the addition of hand printed color photographs. The coming together of collage, printing, and photography in these works are more focused on location and place. There is a definite relationship between images appropriated, and images taken with a camera. These works move into new territory, and will be explored in further issues. All works by Jon Beacham.

The viewing of an issue of Process is directed towards an individual viewer and the work. All works by Jon Beacham. Out of Print.
