The Renaissance series is part of Bill Armstrong’s Infinity collection, offering a meditative exploration of the human condition through the lens of history. Armstrong’s process involves photographing found images with the camera set at infinity, creating deliberate blur and distortion. The source material primarily consists of master drawings from the Renaissance, with some drawn from other historical periods. The technique of reproduction and manipulation—photocopying, cutting, painting, re-photographing—transforms these images, giving them new meaning and a contemporary context. This process can be seen as a "renaissance of the Renaissance."
