on elusive allusions...

Moody, enigmatic, and elliptical. Dreamy and conceptual. A little, um, unusual. There's definately the "huh?" factor as you look at the first print, of a man standing in a field, a breeze-blown white shirt obscuring his face. Things clear up a bit as you read the extensive gallery notes: "To catch life in flight." From another series, "To see the light bent and confined by geometry." A sculptural ribbon, hanging in the air, casts a shadow on a stone wall: it vaguely resembles Arabic. From a known medium to one unknown. The moment is decisive, tangible; the context (and depiction -- the images are fuzzy rephotographed prints), time, is intangible. Light compounded by time.
This show is highly interpretive. As they say, results may vary. (Me, I love this twisty stuff.)
