Digital Capture on Metal

I’ve come to realize that the very act of witnessing an object is really a profound spiritual gesture. Whether it is a blazing sunset, or a singular, fallen leaf resting on the snow, the creation process of the Universe does not seem to be entirely complete, until the object has been witnessed and acknowledged.

However, witnessing is not a simple objective activity. For it involves experiencing an object through both a uniquely personal set of sensory inputs, and a lifetime of acquired constructs of imagined Reality.

My art involves capturing an image with my camera, and deliberately editing that image until there is a sense of harmonic alignment with both the original object and my own personal witnessing experience. The final result (I would like to think) is a furthering of the original Universe’s creation process, and (perhaps in some small way) an expansion the object’s potentiality of Being.
