Shades of Sunset no.1 - Matte on Metal - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

Print Size 24” x 36” Matte Finish Edition of 10 + 3AP Year 2019 'Shades of Sunset no.1' captures the sun descending behind a tree, photographed from Hermosa Beach, California. First edition print in a soft matte finish with minimal glare. Artist Statement This artwork is part of 'Shades of Sunset', a series that captures three images of the same scene in which the sun is descending behind a tree in Hermosa Beach, California. When viewed as a triptych, 'Shades of Sunset' has a visual fluidity that begins with a naturalistic image and transforms in structure and appearance as the angle of light becomes more pronounced. The series draws our attention towards the subjective nature of cognition. Why is it that these three images are so different when the subject and setting is, in fact, identical? How can we understand the process in which light is bent through the camera as a bokeh to produce three distinct images? What does this say about the nature of the physical world and our perceptions of our surroundings? These questions stem from a deep personal interest in epistemology and psychology. Conceptually, the series suggests that there are often multiple viewpoints that are equally valid representations of the real world. My approach to photography incorporates light itself as a compositional subject mediated through expressionism. Captured in-camera, images preserve physical realism while spotlighting visuals that are hidden in our experiences.
