In my latest exhibition, I delve into the intricate interplay between flesh and spirit within the realm of grief. This showcase is a dual exploration, seamlessly intertwining the immediacy of infrared digital photography with the timeless allure of polaroids. The exhibit unfolds in two parts—Flesh, captured through the evocative medium of polaroids, and Spirit, expressed through the surreal lens of infrared technology. Together, these elements illuminate the profound and transformative effects of loss on survivors, offering a nuanced perspective on the delicate dance between the tangible and the ethereal in the face of grief.
Each part of the exhibit acts as a poignant testament to the interconnectedness of flesh and spirit. The Flesh segment, portrayed through the timeless allure of polaroids, freezes intimate moments with the instant and disposable nature characteristic of this medium. This allows contemplation on the delicate balance between memory and reality. Simultaneously, the Spirit component, depicted through the surreal lens of infrared technology, metaphorically bridges the seen and unseen, the tangible and intangible.
As you navigate the gallery, candid portraits reflect the raw, unspoken language of grief, inviting you to witness emotional landscapes unfolding in the face of profound loss. The name "As Above, So Below," a phrase originating from the second verse of the Emerald Tablet, encapsulates the Hermetic concept of correspondence, illustrating the interconnectedness between celestial and terrestrial realms, a theme visually explored in the exhibit through the juxtaposition of infrared digital photography and polaroids, unraveling the delicate interplay between flesh and spirit in the context of grief.
Please see contact form below if you either wish to purchase a print or are interested in showing the exhibition in a gallery or other space. Thank you.
The series titled "Spirit" is all utilizing digital infrared photography printed on paper. Please inquire for available sizes, mounting options or other requests.
