"Here and There", 11" x 8.5", photo collage, 2020.
In the work above, "Here and There", this artist is seeking to resolve formal, as well as symbolic
challenges. In the series to which the noted piece belongs, Intimacies, one wishes to reveal
the cryptic nature of isolated or secluded places within untouched settings. "Here
and There" is composed of several scenes melded in such a way that the viewer is induced to
believe he or she is lost within the thick of the woods - in a "bramble" of ferns, maples and other
deciduos trees. What one is meant to feel is urged into the lush character of a previously
unexplored place. The ferns, encased in boxes of light, are as lenses - giving us a look into the
dense foliage of the forest's usually unnoticed floor. The emerald green foliage of the ferns is
contrasted with the olive green and sage of the neighboring flora. The all is meant to coax the
observer into examining the piece in question carefully. There is more than meets the eye in this
bit of the woods full of hidden meanings.
