erwards, Keever can spend anywhere from
a couple of weeks to a couple of months ed-
iting the final photos. He looks for different
angles, patterns and shapes—manipulating
them in a way that is hard to replicate more
than once. Prints are oentimes enhanced, made larger or
smaller and even inverted to give off a unique effect each
and every time. It is then up to Keever to decide which ab-
straction in the end is most compelling.
It is the tank itself that helps Keever to think rationally
and logically when putting his prints together but its tran-
sient nature is also the culprit as to why none of his work can
be properly preserved. For decades, Keever's work has been
kept alive through a number of different mediums and most
recently, a monograph of his artistry is set to be published
in early 2018 and will be donated to public high schools
around the country.
Today, Keever's prints are void of all discernible imagery,
channeling a more minimal, transcendent quality that has
managed to withstand the test of time. e pure random-
ness of it all, Keever believes, is what has granted him this
newfound freedom of exploration—to celebrate the certain-
ty of science and the unknowingness of art.
