An Exhibition & Re-Issue of The Savages \ Art Notes Monthly-Aug ’14 \
i was sitting at my computer one afternoon looking at my website. well, more specifically viewing the series, ‘Life Among The Savages’. and, in a flash, the way i saw this work changed. “they belong in pairs”, the inspiration insisted! suddenly some of images no longer made as much sense to me on their own.
‘Life Among The Savages #1’
“That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.” P.C. Hodgell
for the following 6 weeks i feverishly began re-working the images. how will i print them? which images belonged together? some were obvious to me others needed time to settle. during this process i realized that while working on the original edit, i unknowingly paired the work prints together for viewing on my studio wall. i was not at all conscious of this. heck, when i offered a sneak peak of the up coming series in this earlier blog post i displayed the work side by side as a split image.
ultimately, many of the images were paired, two becoming one, emphasizing the intersection & confines of the realities i was experiencing. the series now comprises 7 images total: 3 paired images and 4 single ones. as it turns out, the nature of printing this way is a delicate process resulting in beautiful one of a kind handmade prints that are in small editions of three.
you can read about how the series started and how, by releasing this landscape series, i felt fear of not being identified as a portrait photographer.

on another note, i’m pleased to share the news that 2 of my images, ‘Oneness‘ & ‘On The Bridge‘ were accepted into the juried MobileMagic Exhibition at the LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. sometimes this old school film girl uses her iphone camera to make some magic. the exhibition takes place both on-line and in their gallery. so, if you plan to be in the area before august 8th, please stop by to see the show and report back how it all looks!
