Apparently In View — Blurred Realities

Laura Lee — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:49:20 +0000

The purpose of the unaltered spontaneous methodology is to achieve a desired result of a “blurred reality”.
.
Digital photographs realized as abstract images, which encompass light on the surface of water, images of weather beaten galvanized tin with stains that appear liquescent. Within the spontaneity the entire natural setting is used AS IS without any additional lighting.

The images are a cast of complex patterns and appear expressionistic and at times mysterious and surreal.
