About the Book
Page design: The page is a tonal caricature of the arched slice of paper when physically viewing an open book (ie. the book as object), where the darkest emerge from between pages. When closed, that same center (spine) will reflect the lightest of tonality. The gradation of tone on the page is a hued reference to sky… an apropos substrate to these visuals.
The book: A collection of works from two suites of photo-works, ‘Sinergi3s of Confluence’ (SinCon)- the first visuals produced post 9/11, and an extension of that series of works, ‘Equivalence’- a simplified approach to sky and structure. Each work is a result of conversational visual inquiry, while embracing a series of linked formal & narrative concerns. The only clue to a narrative, are to be found in the “PLATE” listings at the end of the book, or from within your personal set of perceptual lenses as you partake of each photo-visual presented.

About the Creator
I began in Baltimore, MD Dec. of 45 where I received a BFA @ the Maryland Institute Coll. of Art (70). From the youthful moment I felt graphite transfer to the paper surface, I was hooked…a life of visual pursuit was immanent. Either as a visualist, or a human, most solutions are as near as that which may be touched, this idea play centrally in ways of: thinking, seeing, and doing. A journey between the mirage of dreams, and the world as it is, the virtual/actual – Nature/humanity, such contrasts are germain to these visual acts. Each have direct relation to one another, particularly to issues of possibility, and the evolving me, all works in progress. If lucky, such expressions will be the connective tissue of mediation between the, at times blurred lines of the virtual/actual,…a visual endowment in a future beyond self.
