Four artists traveling in their own orbits,
coming into alignment once again
for a unique exhibition of photography.

 

Exhibiting their work together for the third time, four established fine-art photographers present unique interpretations of their art. Each showing a thematic series, the four artists explore and examine the medium of photography, pushing the boundaries of process, composition, and content. Thoughtful and thought-provoking, this exhibition is also a simple delight to the eye.

100 Invocations: Gods, Saints, and Fellow Travelers

In this recent series of photo-narratives, the artist explores and reinvents figures and events from a variety of belief systems, mythologies, and folktales. Of the series, Aline Smithson writes that the “work deftly combines photographs, old and new, text, ephemera, and graphic elements into small novellas of visual storytelling.”

Visualizing the Unseen

I have always used the camera in order to see the world in ways my own eyes cannot. And I have artistically felt most comfortable working in a monochrome world. In this instance, the camera used can see only the infrared spectrum. No visible light was recorded in these images. With film in the early 2000’s and now in digital, a marvelous unseen world is revealed.

Little Corners Like These

This portfolio is a collection of images taken in Bodie, CA, an abandoned gold-rush era town located east of the Sierra Nevada. Photographers have been making pilgrimages to Bodie for decades, trying to capture its rustic allure and echoes of the past. These images were taken inside the buildings that still stand, where the interior artifacts remain much the same as when people lived there. They are meant to kindle a connection with those who inhabited these room so long ago – the little corners, nooks and crannies of their dwelling places, revealing lives not so dierent from our own.

Whole and Some of Its Parts

These images bring together terrestrial and celestial Parts to encourage, or maybe inspire, a personal experience of The Whole. Your experience as the viewer is the final creative step.

This is a conceptual project that uses digital image compositing to convey a visual narrative between terrestrial and celestial realms. The terrestrial-celestial couplings are selected based on their visual synergies such as drama, color, and form—treating their ‘actual’ physical scales as irrelevant. They convey the truth that they are actually, regardless of scale, all of the same grand existence—that is, The Whole.

Acknowledgment
The terrestrial part of each composite image is from my camera or drone, and the celestial part is from NASA’s Hubble telescope, Webb telescope, satellites, etc. NASA makes their images available for such uses. I edit and composite the images in software including Photoshop, Lightroom, and Topaz.
