Submissions, Shows, Or Exhibitions.

About a month ago, I went to Rumors and kindly asked the owner of the place to allow me to hang a piece of work there, and the reply was yes. Although it was hard to locate a place that would fit my piece, I finally found one. With a little help from a tall friend, I was able to successfully hang one on their brick wall. It is a matted piece of individually cut and customarily arranged photographs two inch by two inch, 9 images by 11 images if I remembered correctly. They are arranged by overall color and flow semi-fluidly due to the small scale. It can be looked at as a small portion of a larger mosaic piece.

The all the individual photographs are taken by me. They are a small cumulative bunch, obtain over the years. They images are small tokens of memories from the places I've been. They are pieces of collected experiences as well as moments that I have encounter in life. I just to be able to share a little bit of that with others, and show them the vast vibrant colors that exist in every day that sometimes we forget to see, through all the filters that sometimes blind us in life.

Also, I have stumble upon a wonderful opportunity to have my works displayed at Crossroad Coffee and Ice Cream Shop on 26 N. Morris St. I am schedule to have the whole month of September to present my work there. I look forward to all the hard work, preparation, and arrangements to have everything ready and perfect by then.

Lanvi...

Thanks again for coming in today. I checked out your website and am excited to have you show your work in my shop. As discussed, I have reserved September for you. Although I'm certain that we will see each other well before then, let's touch base in August to confirm that everything is still a go.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

"The Transition From Point A to Point B"

This is the accompanying text for a new series I am working on.

A single photograph most commonly portrays a sliver of time or a second of the larger event. A series of photographs taken of a single event, periodically spaced, becomes a stop-motion animation. A stop-motion photographic animation, strung together, flattened, and compressed back into a single image renders and becomes a recording of the entire event. The process then becomes this invasive step that a two dimension image takes, rendering itself as the visual representation, referencing the third dimension and incorporating the fourth dimension, time. The single image now not only presents a sliver of time, but a visual duration of the event in its entirety. The image no longer portrays a second of an event, capturing only point A or point B in the event, but the complete fluid transition from point A to B.
