Time and Memory Continued
More from the Time and Memory Series
Memories fold upon themselves, like images printed on silk and allowed to move with the breeze.
Time and Memory
Time passes in a linear flow, one second followed by another and another each passing through an irrevocable portal to become the past. But when we return to time through daydreams and memories, events blur and flow over each other like pigments in swirling water.
The Value of Critique
Two weekends ago I took part in an event called Critical Conversations hosted by the Griffin Photography Museum in Winchester, MA. It was a great learning experience and it reminded me of how and why independent critique is so valuable in creative fields like photography. More after the jump!
Evolving Vision
I find than my artistic vision is evolving, especially as I create and view more art. I was going through some older work and I found some things that had initially not made the cut for my portfolio, but that I now see in a new way. More after the jump:
Grace and Strength
The subtitle to this post should be “why I never delete images”. I was browsing through my catalog of past work when I came upon this image. More after the jump.
Surfaces of Spacetime
The general theory of relativity visualizes space and time as a four dimensional surface. All of our existence- our past, present and future- plays out simultaneously on this surface. My art is an attempt to visualize that existence in spacetime. Images after the jump.
The Passing of Time
Photography helps us see things that are normally invisible to us. A photograph can freeze an instant, revealing the beat of a hummingbird’s wings or the look of surprise as it flashes across the face of a friend. Cameras can detect wavelengths of light invisible to humans, opening up new worlds for exploration or amplify faint glimmers from stars so that we can see the night sky in all of its glory.
Time not as Passing, but as a Whole
Human memory is often in the form of images recollected- slices of time recalled years later- which may be why photographs and snapshots resonate so deeply. But according to Einstein, time and space can be thought of as a continual surface where our existence is played out on a four dimensional surface. One where past, present and future meld seamlessly. What the heck does this have to do with art and photography? Well, more after the jump!
Winter Abstraction
I love winter.
I know. You’re not supposed to love winter. Summer days spent stretched on tropical sands are the ideal. Tropical drinks, sand, waves…. But not for me.
Reflective Portraits
Portraits made in Metal Sheeting
This has been a little side project of mine. Someone in the portfolio walk portion of the New England Portfolio Review had suggested making portraits using the metal mirrors. I was skeptical of the idea at first, but the results have been… interesting.
