    Description

    Geometric 2021 - 225a7b2 is an abstraction of kaleidoscopic image. There are quite a few versions of the main image (2021 - 225), limited to 3 prints of each version. In this version (2021 - 225a7b2), I have just chosen a small subset of elements of the whole original array, and I have altered the triangular elements with a haze of whites and grays surrounding them - reminiscent to me of lion's mane, and the image takes on an animalistic aura - either to be interpreted as actual animal heads, or as I prefer, as symbolic spirit animal heads that might appear on a warrior's ceremonial or battle shield.

    Concept

    I started taking photographs when I was 6. Being the son of a renowned photographer, it was only natural for me to have a camera in my hands at an early age. But in addition to that, since my father photographed world renowned art, I got a very early exposure to the masters, as there were over 100 art books in my home, wherein my father's work appeared — I originally did not intend to pursue the arts as a career, being gifted in the sciences. But somewhere during my studies, my fascination with photography began to exert a radical pull, and I put aside the sciences to pursue photography. I was not interested in photographing a real moment perfectly…I was interested in projecting an internal view of that moment, a subjective reality... And I started doing almost exclusively multiple image photographs, so that I could show this. I continued to do multiple exposure work exclusively during this time up until the mid '90's when I put artistic endeavors said for quite some time to pursue a career in financial sales. In the early 2000 teens, after having a career in financial sales, I returned to photography. But distilled through the lens of time, I decided to produce only single exposure images. And though less complicated structurally, being single exposures, they still represent a subjective view of the world, being almost totally abstract -- some graphically simple and pure, but others still very complex Since a lot of my photographic art is abstract and non-representational, I'm often asked "what is it a picture of?" And generally, I don't like to answer that question because I feel the work itself should convey a specific feeling, emotion, or thought to the viewer I feel that if I have to tell the viewer what I expect or want them to see, that the work has somehow "not done its job") However I will say that I work a lot with reflected surfaces, and reflections in general, from both natural substances (water, in particular) and man-made substances (glass and metal mostly, but sometimes polished stone, or other curved or rippled reflective surfaces) and I often see in these reflections fantastic shapes that remind me of things in the real world that would never normally be associated with the material, or object, that is producing these reflections. This of course is subjective, and I expect the viewer to perhaps be reminded of some other objects that are more germane to their particular state of mind at the time they are viewing my art; if they happen to see what I see there, that to me is a propitious, but not necessary, co-incidence -- just provided the viewer sees something of note in the image, or feels a particular way about it, that's fine. I'm also in awe of the pure beauty in nature, and so I do a lot of landscapes and seascapes. However, I'm interested in presenting different possibilities for how this "nature" could be seen. This is not an attempt to “improve”on nature, rather to add additional viewpoints to its totality. For example, one might make many photographs of the same mountain view in different weather and lighting conditions, none of these are “more accurate” or “better” they will just show additional aspects of what the mountain may be like, and often I will show aspects of what I imagine it could be like as well. Hopefully this adds to the viewer's total perception of mountain views.
