Excerpt From the Exhibition Catalog for the traveling show in Columbia, South America, 1987
"...'Ask me about Road Kills', 1987, is a humorous, bizarre, and disturbing self-portrait. This image and the other two Ektacolor photographs are the most complex in the show in terms of technique and content. In these works, Paternite revels in his constructed realities, even employing the skills of a professional mask-maker in 'Trolling for Cuda' and 'Brat Man'. Tableaux are created in the studio with surreal assemblages of objects. These are then skillfully lit. The artist adds an overlay of silk-screen printing on the top of the Ektacolor, which produces an interesting change in the surface of the print. ..."
