Lenscratch "Backyard" Online Exhibition

Check out this interesting online photography exhibition on Aline Smithson's Lenscratch contemporary photography blog. The exhibition's theme is the "Backyard" and it's always curious to see what a word like "backyard" can mean to different people. Whether the image is representational or interpretive, these images represent a broad and varied landscape, existing perhaps in the reality of terra firma or maybe just inside our minds.

My own image "reflections of another home" is included on page four of the exhibition. It is an image looking through the inside of a room, from the outside to a backyard. Another home is reflected in the surface of the glass enclosing the room. I was intrigued by how all the different elements related to and influenced one another, yet still remain separate in function and identity. I must admit I have a strange attraction to reflections, they appeal to my sense of the surreal. Reflections of many kinds seem to be creeping in to my work more and more often these days.

Enjoy the exhibition!

PhotoHaus Gallery "Abstract Expressionism" Show

I'm very excited to announce that the five images of mine shown below are included in the upcoming "Abstract Expressionism" group show at PhotoHaus Gallery in Vancouver, BC!

Here's a peek:

The Night's Forest

Cerulean Drift
Nebulous Grove
 

An Utterance of Trees


Resonance

All of these images utilize intentional blurring and camera motion, reducing the subject's tangible form to that of my perception of its energy.

My images in this exhibition are Archival Pigment Ink Prints on 100% cotton rag paper, matted and framed to 18"x24" in contemporary black wood frames.

Please come on out and join me for the opening night - there will be lots of unique and interesting imagery shown in this exhibition, from over 30 different photographers. Oh yeah, of course there'll be beer and wine!

Opening night: Friday January 25, 2013 at 7pm, PhotoHaus Gallery, 14 W.7th Ave, Vancouver, BC
