Garden View 12 Print

Art should be like a holiday: something to give a man the opportunity to see things differently and to change his point of view. - Paul Klee Garden Views is a series of digital images. It is based on the idea of being in a colorful garden on a warm spring day. There is a large assortment of glass viewing lenses. Each lens has it’s own unique optical qualities. The garden is large and inviting. Now imagine walking about the flowers while examining them through one of the lenses. Each one has it’s own unique optical qualities. The organic shapes and colors of the flowers merge with the geometries of the lenses resulting in an expansive array of visual possibilities. The series is a visual garden cultivated in the imagination of the artist. Which was influenced by the Art Deco movement of the early 20th century. It was a movement that embraced the new technologies of the time and the spirit of the age.
