First Looks! In The Studio August 14, 2019

Here are a few photographs from last week’s work. I was thinking about the Greek philosopher Diogenes when I created the starting point for the day’s work. My 8th grade algebra teacher introduced him to me by recounting one of his stunts. From time to time, Diogenes apparently carried a lit lamp during the day looking for an honest person.  All images were created on set, no digital manipulation required.

First Looks are my initial reactions. It usually takes days or weeks before I’m comfortable deciding if something makes the cut. Editing, selecting which pieces make it and which ones don’t, is one of the most difficult parts of the process. The images you see here are either ones that might be finished or inspire ideas worth pursuing.

Here are a few photographs from last week’s work and a few thoughts that lead to creating these images. The first three images explore the idea of something fracturing our world. It might be something foreign from another dimension or a deity.  It can also be a fractured relationship caused by an outsider or ourselves.  The last two images can be interpreted as something controlling our world. Of course how you interpret these images is absolutely correct.

First Looks! In The Studio July 2, 2019

Here are a few photographs from last week’s work. We started by exploring characters in separate dimensions with a central figure able to impact their surrounding environments. Alternatively, they represent the central character’s struggle with balancing conflicting ideals and emotions. Later we moved into exploring how two characters locked in separate dimensions could engage one another.
