In the early nineties Chase much of his time developing new ideas in his color photography. With the closing of the Minchner-Wilcox Gallery, where he had been showing since the early nineties, he began to be represented by the Christopher Grimes Gallery, Santa Monica. Painting consisted of returning to earlier pieces and reworking them. Chase also began his first artist books, single additions of painted works, which occupied the rest of his time. In 1992 he created a series of three-dimensional boxes inspired by the work he was doing with books.
