A Collection of Nudes

These landscapes are my own creation, distilled from memory or my imagination, arranged to reveal the terrain of the body in a fleeting moment, in the controlled environment of the studio.  The landscapes cease to exist after the photo session.

I use compositions of selective focus in which some elements dissolve and merge into liquid reflection, much like a mirage, a memory or a dream that can’t quite be remembered.  There is no going back to these landscapes.  They are the landscapes of dreams, hard next to soft, angular next to complex curve.

I like to employ a restrictive frame (crop, aspect ratio, aperture) that limits, truncates the landscape like a car window that frames a new world. I want to show the moment the nude leans into a fall, or seems to float, to pause, or to be at rest.  These are the moments between.

Please join me on Friday, September 27, 5:00 – 7:00pm for the opening reception at the William Siegal Gallery in the Railyard District in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
