Lucent Daydreams 2021

Lucent:  Glowing with light, luminous

Daydream:  A pleasant visionary usually wishful creation of the imagination

The color blue is a mindset for me, it speaks of desire, daydreams, blue gestures and blue thoughts.  In this state of being submerged, we are brought to a place of sensory awareness and uncertain reality.  Color, reflections and the confusion of materials and figure produce a world both mysterious and defined by light.

John Szarkowski wrote about ‘The Frame’ in his book, The Photographer’s Eye.

“The photograph’s edge defines content.

It isolates unexpected juxtapositions.  By surrounding two facts, it creates a relationship. It creates the shapes that surround objects.

The photographer edits the meanings and patterns of the world through an imaginary frame.  This frame is the beginning of the picture’s geometry.  It is to the photograph as the cushion is to the billiard table.”

These images are printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag archival paper by Coupralux Fine Art Printing.
