WIP
The newer images below mark a new approach to my image making. Obviously the return of the diptych is one example that helps drive a juxtaposition of the object and setting, as well as the narrative and the evidentiary approach in the work. The second was losing up a bit on the formal elements. By presenting a less polished style the photographs fail to drive home the juxtaposition, narrative, and the evidentiary. And that is the wonderful balance that this newer work attempts to solve. Some where between the perception of what we can see, and what can only be captured by the camera.

SPE
I am suprised and elated to report that attending SPE was a complete and utter sucess. Denver was absolutely beautiful and the light quality is amazing, not to mention the warm temps found in the mid 50s. But I wanted to share the artist of note who I had the pleasure of meeting, reconnectiing with, and speaking about photography with.

Annie Holm

People of note who I did not have the pleasure of meeting with.
Liz Wells - lecture on the new landscape in Europe. Notions of sense and perception in the European landscape.
Stefan Petranek - the collaboration of artist and scientist and the meeting of the two relms as a rich dialogical space of creation and artistic endevour.
Libby Rowe - Humour as a tool for speaking about the construction of the femine and notions of feminity in culture and society.
Zack Bent - Working with the domestic sphere as site of relationships and familial rites of passage between Father and Son.
