Re: Van Horn Series
You have to make a bit on a mental leap to see where "elements" comes is in the series. Like I said in my original post I'm not satisfied yet with how this series is put together.
So I guess a little artists statement should have been added before showing the images.
-The images in this series were all taken in the desert about 15 miles south of Van Horn, Texas. The images represent the four natural elements; air, earth, fire, and water, using untouched items and scenes found in an area of about 30 acres. A fifth element, love, is also represented. The images are a visual interpretation of something that resides within that element.
Ex: Fire, looks like a campfire burning.
Water, looks like a plant growing on the ocean floor
Earth, this one I'm really not satisfied with yet. It's a rock, just a rock. I like the image just not the representation.
Air, looks like a bird skeleton.
Love, a nest. A home to keep your children safe in. Protected by cactus thorns and decorated with a flower.
As far as tonality goes; these are printed on a silver metallic paper. They POP on it. Earth looks really good on paper because the real rock had a glittery effect on it's surface. It was printed to have those little sparkles blown out so that the silver was uncovered by ink- it also sparkles when you move it in the light. Water has a depth of detail in in that would blow you away when you saw the print.
