I was asked to propose a series of images for a wellness room. This photo assemblage is the result. Given my circumstances, weaknesses, and intellectual stance, the irony is not lost on me. But I am honored.
Most of my photographic work is intended to be suggestive, reflective, perhaps a little demanding. In particular, images build on one another, or try to, sequentially. Photo essays are like but not exactly like an argument, narrative or poem. Here, my intentions are quite different. Each image should stand on its own, be pretty or at least pleasing. Worth looking at, maybe, but not an invitation to wrestle.
While the images can be viewed individually, this assemblage is assembled, should come together. Resonances, harmonies, reminders -- a sense of order seems appropriate.
