this way and that, Paris, France, April 1986
dividing things into the obvious material categories seems a bit counter-productive in a praxis that seeks to de-stabilize the whole materialist - mechanistic - Newtonian - Cartesian mode of being. however, for neoscenes, images are a relevant starting point in exploring the noumenal world. this relation to 2-D marks on paper via Light, optics, and chemistry goes back to early childhood and continued un-interrupted until the late 1990's when the digital device was added as yet another means for marking both paper and the flat luminosity of the screen.
image hints:
portrait work has re-started as of the beginning of 2007 -- a year of moving onto new states of being, new states, and new/old projects.
30 years done gone. from the halls and classrooms, to MacDonalds, Arbys, the football field and bleachers, DisneyWorld, Daytona Beach, wrestling, English and German class, Gaithersburg High School 1975-1976 is represented here blemishes and all. with (eventually) more than 450 images culled from the personal archive, most never before revealed in print. scandalous!
the apocalyptic dream chases for a long time, and finally catches up to a temporary resting spot. the dream exists in a space of faith of communion and communication. in the gradual unveiling of vision: an ikonic directive -- not post-nuclear vision -- present-vision. curvilinear time, cyclic yet evolving (double-helix DNA perceptions embedded in action dialectic interrogation Synthesis!).
fundamental to the darkening of silver salts is the photonic and electromagnetic properties of Light. indeed photography is about taking that apprehended Light and coaxing it into interaction with silver. watching Light play with water is a constant source of in-spiration -- that is, a source for the bringing-in of spirit -- into the eyes, into the soul.
language and image in constant tension: breaking the tension, playing with elemental meanings and apprehensions, this cycle of 21 images expands the definition of the word noun.
